Come August, many organisations host special events to celebrate the city we live in. That is Madras or Chennai.
There are walks to take, talks to listen to, exhibitions to watch, quizzes and contests to participate and win prizes. These are all open to public of all ages.
What is there for children?
A lot, actually.
www.yocee.in- the website for Chennai kids has come out with many contests for children studying in classes 5 to 12.
There is one to draw the route and mark the landmarks, one to just click photos and email them, one to draw the sketches of the scenes of the city and one more to listen to stories from grandmas and grandpas and mail them.
There are a lot of goodies to win as prizes in these contests.
What else, YOCee plans to put the entries together and make online albums of photos, sketches , maps and also publish online the stories of the city.
Though these contests are for kids, they need the parents and teachers to tell them about the city and its landmarks and routes.
So participate as a family so that kids could win prizes and take home a lot of unknown stories about the city.
