The induction class mainly focused on creating a good rapport with the students. I initiated many communication based games as ice-breakers so as to judge the caliber and the level of cognition of the class.  I introduced myself through a NAME Game. The game was a good ice breaker as students has to find an adjective along with their names so as to memorize the names in a fun and easy way. i introduced myself "ATTENTIVE ARATHI",Then students responded with "DARING DEVADUTT'', 'NOBLE NAZAR'' I made it more interesting by quoting some tongue twisters and asked them to imitate the same so as to strengthen their listening and responding potential It was followed by the message pass game with 10-15 students trying to pass the message- six slippery snails. this boosts up communication potential of students TREASURE HUNT : Game involved all the students of the class to guess a thing inside a box by listening to a video clues given by me
