While in India with the president, the first lady stopped by the University of Mumbai on Saturday to dance, sing and play games with more than 30 disadvantaged children.

Michelle Obama joined the group of children — all orphans or runaways — in an educational game of hopscotch, according to a White House pool report. The rules: Answer a question right and proceed to the next square.

Obama, who took off her shoes to play, correctly spelled both "America" and "happiness" to advance in the game but "nearly lost her balance on one foot," the pool report said.

The first lady also danced with the children to the theme song from Bollywood movie "Rang de Basanti."

In a brief speech, Obama told the children to "just remember there is nothing that you guys can't do."

"I didn't grow up with a lot of money," she said. "I never even imagined being the first lady of the United States. But because I had an education, when the time came to do this, I was ready."

After the speech, one child told Obama that seeing her in person was a "dream come true."

"No, you are my dream come true," she responded.

Before leaving, Obama gave each child a tote bag filled with notebooks, pencils, pens and White House M&Ms.
