Spontaneous Role-Play

A wonderful thing which took place today was the spontaneous role- play that was enacted by Lubna and Jia, students of my class, PPII Hans. Seeing a couple of solo performances, Lubna came up to say that she and Jia wanted to perform a role-play in the assembly. As I asked her what the role-play was about, she answered that it was about ‘Christmas’. So I took them in front of the children and announced that they wanted to present a role-play before them, with no idea whatsoever of what they were going to present. To my astonishment, there was Lubna, saying ‘Kitna achchha din hai!’ and Jia responding to her in some manner. Again Lubna said, ‘Chalo, hum burf se khelte hain!’ and she pretended forming an ice ball and throwing it on Jia. Jia, taking clue, did the same. Then Jia came up to say, ‘Oh humein gifts mile hain!’ They sat down and again Lubna showed a flower with her hand saying ‘Oh mujhe flower mila hai!’ on which Jia said, ‘Oh mujhe Barbie mili hai!’ Saying, ‘Chalo sote hain!’ Lubna tried to conclude the role play at last. It was so exciting that it gave me goose pimples then and even now I cannot help smiling and feeling great about it!
