Chapter 7 of Santoor opens Unit 3, Fun with Games. Fit Body, Fit Mind, Fit Nation is a poem about cheerful children who love to play. The book does not name a poet. Each child is named with a quality that begins with the same letter — Active boy Anant, Graceful girl Geeta, Little boy Lhamo, Swift girl Shabana and musical Meena. Some of them play a game, some play music, and all of them enjoy it. The rest of the chapter takes that idea further: you match describing words to naming words, cook a dish without fire, find words with double letters, pick out the rhyming pairs, and find out about the Paralympic Games.
