suggest the children imagine themselves as wizards or magi-
cians who have such wands. Further, explain that in oriental 
fairy tales, kind fairies are called pari (in Uzbek) or peri (in Rus-
sian). so, all the girls here are beautiful fairies (pari/peri) and, 
as regards to the boys, they can be kind genies/jinns or malicious 
monsters (dev in Uzbek/ див in Russian). Let’s not be malicious 
devs/divs. And let’s say: 
Genie/Jinn is good.
Pari/Peri is good.
Dev/Div is bad.
Then all the girls repeat in chorus: 
I’m a pari/peri. I’m good.
And all the boys repeat: 
I’m a genie/jinn. I’m good.
