Kids' entertainment channel Cartoon Network's School Contact Programme (SCP) Kris ka Magic Mantra aims to add a fun element to such daily woes.
Kris, a student-superhero of the channel's popular series ‘Roll No 21’, not only tackles homework and bullies, but also villains disguised as teachers in a fun and hilarious manner.
Inspired by this concept, the Kris ka Magic Mantra SCP is meant to instruct children via fun games, trivia and activities slotted into an hour-long session.
A jiggle-wiggle dance to calm nerves before exams, a game of dodge-ball to explain the ill-effects of bacteria on teeth are just some of Kris's magical tips or mantras. The idea is to reach out to over 500,000 students in approximately 500 schools across 10 cities.
The list of cities includes Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Kanpur, Kolkata, Pune and Ahmedabad.
