Mythical Maze – Workshop II

posted on January 18, 2015

The Mythical Maze Reading Challenge is nearly over!

After Reading and Role Play and Idioms Are My Cup of Tea, today has Myths from around the World and Myths and Fables.

I showed the little ones a map of the world. These children are in the age-group 5-7.

We were reading a ‘story from Arabia’, Where There is Will. “Do you know where Arabia could be?” I asked.

One child stood up. “I think it is here,” she said, pointing to the entire Gulf region.

“Good!”

“Do you know how I know?”

“How?”

“See, this is India. Over here, this sea is called the Arabian Sea. So the Arabian Sea has to touch Arabia, right?”
