General


Communication is of paramount importance in a society. From building connections to landing lucrative jobs, its need is felt everywhere. Considering the cut-throat competition in today’s work environment, it’s essential to inculcate the nuances of public speaking from an early age. While some kids excel in public speaking naturally, others can learn the skill through expert guidance
and the conquest of their fear of speaking in front of a crowd.
The Playbook will help your children achieve proficiency in public speaking by
catering to their individual needs.
The chief tenets of public speaking are:-

(a) A zeal to convince people

(b) Mastery over expression

(c) A strong vocabulary

(d) Enhancing one’s personality.

Learning fundamental life skills has from an early age has become the need of the hour. We, at The Playbook, have designed learning programs that cultivate these essential skills in the citizens of tomorrow. We believe in bringing about a holistic development in kids, tweens and teenagers. We nurture our learners in the following ways:-


KIDS – After familiarizing them with the rudiments of the English language, we groom their verbal communication by teaching them proper etiquette for public places like airports, hotels, hospitals and shopping malls. This is achieved by the means of interactive role play sessions.

TWEENS – At this level, we focus more on team skills by promoting group discussions and brainstorming on a wide array of creative topics. This enables the learners to break communication barriers and evolve into more confident individuals. The aim is to increase their curiosity through creative writing, quizzing, debating and public speaking courses.

TEENS – We aim to raise their self-esteem by helping them become published authors, expert quizzers, master communicators, bloggers, screenwriters, and, above all, level-headed individuals who can solve life’s practical problems through astute and critical thinking.

People have varying attention spans and aptitude levels.
Personal attention can prove fruitful by catering to their individual needs.
At the same time, small group learning enables them to compare their work with their peers and also feed off others’ ideas. Some of the ways in which small group learning can be put to good use are role plays, debates, brainstorming and games. At The Playbook, our sessions are founded on the concept of small group learning, and our mentors take special care
to facilitate personality development and provide instant feedback.

In the 21st century, analytical skills matter more than learning by rote.
While the West has already adapted to the significance of 21st century skill development, India is yet to explore its full potential. Thinking out of the box has become a norm in today’s learning environment. We’re all heading towards a future where textual learning will be ousted by life skills. The Government of India has realised the importance and has introduced the New National Education Policy 2020 that focuses on foundational skill sets of a child in their early years of development. At The Playbook, we believe in maintaining a healthy balance between conventional and futuristic learning methods. Here, ‘out of the box’ thinking is encouraged. Some of the 21st century skills that we’re currently focused on developing are critical thinking,
communication skills, problem solving, social skills and collaboration.

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”

What Benjamin Franklin said nearly two-and-a-half centuries ago holds true for all generations. However,
with the passage of time and the advancements in science and technology, the methods of gaining knowledge have changed.
An ideal way to give students a much-needed break from traditional learning is to cultivate a quiz culture in schools and colleges.
It will not only enhance a learner’s knowledge and curiosity, but also foster in him/her the qualities of team bonding and competitiveness.
The Playbook aims to create a niche in India’s quizzing fraternity and prepare children for the standards of state and national level quiz competitions.
If you’re in-quiz-itive, come along. Here, learning = playing!

Every person is inherently creative. However, in this day and age of smartphones and computer games,
our creative energies mostly go unharnessed. More than any other art form, writing has suffered the most
because we’re driven by the cliché that it’s boring and tedious. The Playbook is here to break these perceptions and bring out the latent talent in you.
We realize that writing is not just important but essential as it documents our lives and milieux. Our curriculum is designed in such a manner
that people from various age groups will benefit from it. From the basics of English grammar and vocabulary to professional skillsets like blogging and
scriptwriting, we cover a wide gamut of topics. If you aspire to become a published author, join us on this creative journey to El Dorado!
