At Ummeed the dynamic trio of Nkoko, Suchitra and Theo were in charge.
We began with physical theatre games, the entire gamut of age groups participated - making a machine game, 
water-freeze-ice tag game,
emotion game,
when is a prop not a prop game, 
many many many calls to 'gola banao!' - 'make a circle!'.... 
everything always went smoother once we had 'gola banao'ed :) 
Although 'smooth' is maybe not quite accurate... there was more mayhem and chaos, wild animal noises and mad running around, peeling kids off hanging tree branches and attempts to curb feral instincts than I have ever seen compressed into one tiny space :) 
And some little kids were their own performance-troupe of one!
Such is every-day life at Ummeed
