If the kids listen to the stories of Krishna's divinity, Arjuna's dedication, Bhima's strength, Yudhishtira's righteousness and  et all they learn the principles in a different manner & the essence stays with them. The questions range from characters in Mahabharata to meanings to Sanskrit words such as Ahimsa, Satya, jnana, etc.

A. Well the principle is more important than the shloka if one was to make a choice. Hearing the shloka chanting it will have added benefit as stated above. However if the knowledge is learnt & applied without the shlokas its good as well.
