he tiny-tots of Nanhe Kadam, Pyaare Kadam, Badhte Kadam and Form 1 entertained the audience and left them spellbound with their dazzling performances when they danced to the melodious tunes. Age being no bar, the grandparents participated enthusiastically in the games like passing the parcel, musical chair, Antakshri and few Riddles organised for them.
