Presentation
Today I am going to teach you through a new concept
I am going to tell you about a special type of
celebration held at colony during xmas. You have to

a special type of game was organized. 8 members with
equal height were selected from the colony and
organized into 2 groups.
The game is each group has to form a figure.
The first group was on the stage.
They formed a figure by two members standing
opposite to the other two. In such a manner that one
member faces the other and by each member joining
hands with members adjacent to him. After that the
opposite members tried to join their hands and lucky it
was successful.
Second family entered the stage. They formed the
figure in the same manner as the first family did. After
