Urdu/Hindi playgroups for your child?

Hi all, a friend and i are starting a playgroup for Urdu language for our toddlers.

I was curious if anyone had joined one ( for any language) and there were any good ideas or hints?

We’re planning to read books in urdu- using our toddler books-translating them and then giving out copies to our friends.

Singing songs in urdu.

However niether of us know urdu nursery rhymes so we basically make up our own versions of songs. I have my own version of “this little piggie”.

If you know any sites to loook at for songs/books/ideas i’d really appreciate it and any other ideas would be great! Thanks!

Thanks all :) Lets hope it works. We're also using it as a time to force us all to speak Urdu too!

The hardest part of Urdu Lit is that it uses more difficult urdu than we're used too..and we don't read urdu as well as we can read roman urdu...lets see :)
