Diwali Play for Kids

We performed a play at Park Hill School Croydon, UK, to explain the stories behind the five days of Diwali and the various traditions and rituals undertaken on each of the five days across various parts of India. The audience was kids from the age of 5 to 7 years. Possibly, can be used as it for still older kids (and even some adults) with minor changes :-)

Ramayana play in 15 minutes for kids

This is a Ramayana script I and a few others wrote to explain the mythology behind Diwali to school kids in UK. The play runs for 15 minutes and is supported by audio visuals projected on a screen. The play ends with a dance performance with Ram, Sita and people of Ayodhya dancing with lights celebrating Ram's return on Diwali.
