We have read about Chinna's love for tinkling bells in the story. Collect or draw pictures of different types of bells found in India.
Students should collect or draw pictures of various bells found in India.
Types of bells to include: temple bells (large brass bells used in places of worship), school bells (used to signal class times), cow bells (similar to what Chinna wanted for Tara), church bells, door bells, wind chimes, and decorative bells.
Students can research the cultural and religious significance of bells in different Indian traditions and present their findings with illustrations or photographs.
