Three Gods

The kids reviewed the phrases about each god. In order to practice at home say the first phrase and wait for them to say the bolded phrase, preferably with appropriate action:
Ex: Brahman has -- 4 heads ............ means that parent says "Brahma has" and the child should respond with "4 heads"

The phrases we learned are:
Brahma has -- 4 heads
Brahma wrote -- 4 vedas
Brahma created -- the whole world

Vishnu rides -- Garuda
Vishnu has - chakra
Vishnu protects - the whole world

Shiva likes to - dance
Shiva has - a pet snake
