Mudra Magic!
How to play:
Welcome to the wonderful world of Mudra Magic! Test your knowledge on the mudras and their meanings. Mudra Magic is based on a story, Krishna and the Peacock, a famous Indian mythological tale. In every sentence of the story, there are several words that have mudras associated with them. The words have already been identified for you, so your task is to match the mudra to their respective meanings.
​
Learning Objectives of the game:
1. Identify 9 mudras and their meanings
2. Perform 5 mudras associated with the story
​
As seen from the picture below, there are multiple choices to choose from and you are allowed to select more than 1 option per question. Take note that there are words that share the same mudra.

Storytime!
Read the story of Krishna and the Peacock here.
Lord Krishna plays the flute in the forest and dances happily. The peacocks in the forest heard the melodious tune and danced along. After some time, Lord Krishna stopped playing the flute and silence filled the forest. The peacocks were full of happiness and gratitude that they went to greet Lord Krishna. To show their gratitude, they offered him their feathers which Lord Krishna wore on his crown.
