Ekadaksha Learning Center

Ekadaksha had a Sports fun activities event as part of the sports series on 28th of November 2025 at Wesley Turf and Fitness club,Royapettah,Chennai.

The sports activities were kept simple and the main focus was to give opportunity for our children to interact with outsiders.Few well wishers of Ekadaksha,Mr.Gautham Gopal,Mr.Kailash,Mr.Vignesh and Ms.Tanuja joined us to be part of the fun event.

The guests were alloted to one house each-Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and they remained in that  alloted house group for all activities of the day. Mr.Gautham was part of Red house,Mr.Kailash in blue house,Mr.Vignesh in  Green house and Ms.Tanuja was part of the Yellow house.

For the children to get a feel of ease,first the house group teachers introduced the guest to the children. There were general interactions with the person either verbally or through the Avaz app. Interactions included hand shake, telling their names etc. After the introduction, the children played ball throw and catch in their respective houses. This was followed by 2 relay races.

1. Bucket relay race:where the first child had to carry the empty bucket,run along the track,pick up a bean bag from the tray kept at the other end,put the bean bag inside the bucket,come back running in their track and give the bucket to the next child. This was done till all the bean bags were over. The house which finished picking up all the bean bags first were the winners.Red house were the winners in the bucket relay race.

2. Instrument Relay race:Each house were given 4 different instruments which were kept in a tray at the start point.Once the whistle was blown,the child had to take an instrument of his/her choice,play the instrument simultaneously while walking in the track and drop the instrument inside the tray kept at the other end.After the first child sits at the other end,the second child has to get up,pick up another instrument of his/her choice,play the instrument and walk in the track to reach the end.Whichever house completed transfering all the four instruments first were declared the winner.Green house were the winners in the Instrument Relay race.

The groups posed for a group picture at the end of the races.It was so much fun playing the games.All the children played independently. They enjoyed interacting and playing along with the new person in their group. It was wonderful to see the children being with people other than their teachers. 

The sports event was a day of fun and learning by giving the children and teachers the exposure to a new environment and new people. The children were given the opportunity to introduce themselves, and listen to new people too. The guests had a great time interacting with our children and they were also able to understand how to interact with the children as well as know how much our children are capable of doing. 

Here are some pictures of our "Sports fun day" event.

Children's day is not merely a day for fun and games;it carries a profound message about the importance of nurturing the young generation with love,care and education.Pandit Nehru,fondly known as "Chacha Nehru" was a  strong advocate for children's welfare,education and development. His birthday,November 14, was officially designated as Children's Day to honor his legacy.

The month of November began with a surprise for the children at Ekadaksha.Yes!! A surprise "Halloween party" was arranged at the center on the 1st of November. It was an initiative of 'Dhaara', MCTM International School,Chennai. This plan was proposed by Ms. Saanvi, a Grade 12 student who collaborated with CAS (Grade 11) students of the school. The boys and girls decorated the center with "Halloween theme".Games like - Ghost cup knockdown,Witch hat ring toss,Pumpkin toss were arranged in different rooms.There was a photo booth arranged with different halloween props and a tattoo corner where children could choose designs to be painted on their hand or face. 

Ekadaksha was decked up so colorfully with hanging bats,spiders,balloons,colorful posters,hanging ghosts etc giving a true feeling of Halloween. As children of Ekadaksha entered the center at 10.30am they were excited to see the lovely and warm welcome by the MCTM team.

Each class of Ekadaksha were given two student volunteers from MCTM School.The student volunteers were introduced to the class children and they started interacting with them.The volunteers assisted their class throughout the programme. They helped the children in playing games,taking them around, taking pictures with props and at the tattoo corner. In every game room,the MCTM team encouraged and motivated the children of Ekadaksha- they explained the rules,gave a demo and then cheered the children to play the game.They also gave gifts to the winners. After the game time,photoshoot and drawing of tattoos,the students of MCTM gave a peppy dance performance which was so enjoyable.Children of Ekadaksha too joined the dance and it was so much fun.At the end,there was a soothing music performance by one of their students to which everyone sat and listened with a feeling of calmness filling the air.

The event ended with a vote of thanks given by a student of MCTM Inernational school followed by Ms.Archana Joshi,Founder of ELC,thanking everyone for making this wonderful event happen at Ekadaksha. Exciting goodie bags were given by the MCTM team to the staff and children of Ekadaksha. 

This event was one of a kind where our children had the opportunity to interact and enjoy with neurotypical children of their age group.It was very touching to see the children interacting with each other. Inclusion was happening in a casual manner where children of Ekadaksha felt so much at ease to interact and get along with MCTM students.The students and teachers understood our children well and gave inputs in such a way our children could process and understand. They made the whole atmosphere very comfortable. 

Ekadaksha thanks the Principal of MCTM International school for encouraging this project 'Dhaara' and to the teachers Ms.Papitha and Ms. Janani, for making sure the show ran smoothly. Thankyou to Ms. Saanvi, whose idea, thought and planning made this event a great success and learning. A big shout out to all the students who participated and played their roles perfectly.
