A city-based edutainment company launched its collection of games to promote Indian scriptures and culture.
What’s it about? City-based Chittam launched its collection of board and card games for kids to help promote Indian culture and scriptures. It includes an activity book and a puppetry kit. There’s also a twist on the traditional rummy card game depicting monuments, dance forms, foods, etc.
- Sarathi, the activity book, has crosswords, riddles, interactive illustrations, and stories about Lord Krishna. The puppetry kit Bommalattam helps kids learn about characters in the Mahabharata.
- The card game, Bharata Vilas, sees players having to make a set by matching different categories. Suprabatham is another activity kit that teaches kids about 60 prominent Indians like Rajinikanth and Sachin Tendulkar.
Who said what? Founder Charanya Kumar said she sought inspiration from other countries that have different ways of incorporating their culture into games for children. The company will release another game called Mozhi in March. It’s a way for kids to learn English and Tamil.
