+'''Note''' : Give students the option to share their response with you privately (on personal message) if they are not comfortable sharing in the group.
+

+Show your finger puppets to children (through image on WhatsApp/showing on GM/Zoom) and ask them to make 2 (or more ) finger puppets based on which questions they would like to reflect upon and share. Alternately, students can choose to simply write their thoughts down with/without making a puppet.
