Storytelling Workshops for Primary Schools in Delhi
Kabir for Kids runs live storytelling workshops for primary schools in Delhi, built around Sant Kabir's dohas: stories, songs, movement and questions children answer for themselves. Sessions are designed for ages 5–9 and adapt up to Class 8.

In the room
What children do in a K4K session
Children meet Kabir through story first, then carry the idea into a song, a movement, a drawing and a question of their own. Joyful enough for children, structured enough for schools.
Sing or move
Doha singing and movement, with children taking part throughout rather than watching.
Doha cards
A hands-on doha-card activity in small groups: children hold a doha, compare meanings and bring answers back.
Reflect together
Open questions, so children leave asking "but why did Kabir say that?" — not just listening.
Plan the session
Class fit, length and what you need
Most schools begin with one student session. It fits inside an assembly, a classroom block, reading week, language week or a special day.

We bring the story flow, keyboard, doha cards, activities and prizes. The school needs an indoor room, basic sound and a group size that lets children answer.
Why Kabir
Values through story, not a lecture
Kabir's dohas are two-line poems with one vivid picture inside: a gardener watering pots, a date palm with no shade, words weighed like something precious. Children remember the picture, then the meaning follows. Kindness, patience and honesty land differently when a child discovers them inside a song than when an adult names them on a slide.
- Genuine attention. Children listen because the stories are interesting, including the back row.
- Music and movement stick. Little Kabir Songs are remembered weeks later and carried home.
- Children ask questions. The session is designed to prompt curiosity, not just participation.
Real Delhi rooms
Delhi schools we have worked with
Our first school session was in Delhi, in December 2024. These are some of the rooms since.
May 2026 · Class 6
NBT × Vasant Valley School
A hundred sixth-graders. Five dohas. One verse, written by a child in the room and sung for the first time there.
May 2026
Sanskriti School
A school-room session with the core K4K rhythm: sing, notice, answer, wonder.
April 2026 · Class 2
Mahavir Senior Model School
A hundred hands in the air. One doha did that.
March 2026 · 40 children
Jain Bharati Mrigavati Vidyalaya
In a group of forty, the doha-card work created a rare kind of focus. Children held Kabir's cards like they already belonged to them.
May 2026
Delhi Public School, Vasant Kunj
Children held doha cards, compared meanings and brought their own answers back into the room.
December 2024
Sardar Patel Vidyalaya

Also in Delhi-NCR: a hundred Class 9 students from GD Goenka School, Noida, at NBT Vasant Kunj (April 2026), and summer-camp sessions at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj and Gurgaon (June 2025). See every session on the workshops page.
Questions from schools
Things Delhi schools ask us
Which classes is the workshop for?
The session is built for children aged 5–9 and can be adapted up to Class 8. In Delhi we have also run it with a hundred Class 6 students from Vasant Valley School and a hundred Class 9 students from GD Goenka School, Noida, at NBT sessions in Vasant Kunj.
How long is a session?
A student session runs 60–90 minutes. It fits inside an assembly, a classroom block, reading week, language week, a special day or a summer camp, without redesigning the timetable.
How many children can take part?
30–40 children per session works best, because every child gets a chance to answer and take part. Larger auditorium groups are possible: several Delhi sessions have run with around a hundred students.
What does the school need to provide?
An indoor venue (auditorium, hall or classroom), a basic sound system and a clear age group. Kabir for Kids brings the stories, the keyboard, the doha cards, the activities and the prizes.
Which language is the session in?
Kabir's dohas are sung in their original Hindi, and each one is explained simply for the age group in the room.
Is there a session for teachers?
Yes. An optional 45–75 minute teacher orientation gives teachers and coordinators doha prompts, songs and follow-up classroom ideas to carry the work forward after our visit.
