The first day will start with an inauguration and have the following events: Blackout Poetry, Book-cover Designing, Dumb Charades, and Retelling of Stories. The second day will consist of events like Pop Quiz, Slam Poetry, Literature-based Film Making, Treasure Hunt, Character Enactment, and Claim to Fame. All these events will be built around the theme of Fantasy.

Any student who is charmed by the magic of Hogwarts or the Olympians is cordially invited.
