Bringing Math Alive Through Storytelling – Himmat Aur Sher

On Thursday, 21st August 2025, an engaging Teachers in Role session brought the Junior Math story “Himmat Aur Sher” to life at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad. Held in the South Block Centre Field, the session turned math learning into an exciting storytelling experience.

Nursery facilitators stepped into character as Himmat, her mother, and Nani—captivating young learners through expressive narration and role play. The story followed Himmat on her journey to Nani’s house, where she fed a cardboard lion cut-out some laddoos, making learning come alive through imagination and interaction.

Back in class, the children reinforced their understanding through a fun dice game—rolling, identifying numbers, and “feeding” the lion the corresponding number of laddoos. This creative integration of storytelling and mathematics made number recognition and counting both joyful and meaningful, reflecting the school’s commitment to experiential and play-based learning.
