An epic tale

Explore the learning opportunities provided by our pullout story, a simplified version of the traditional Indian tale of Rama and Sita Sharing the story

Sharing the story

* Remind the children that the story of Rama and Sita is very old and is important to Hindu and Sikh people worldwide, not just those living in India.

Children may have heard the story told at home or seen it on television. The story also features in the video 'A Little. Princess' (Warner Bros. 8.99). There are many versions and elaborations of the story and children may be able to embellish on this simple version. (See Resources, pages 18-19.)

* Retell the story and develop as an oral storytelling activity for yourself and the children. Ask the children to tell you their favourite part of their story, and tell them yours. Encourage them to talk to each other about their choices.
