Merry-Go-Round

Listen, sing and dance


I climbed up on the merry-go-round,
And it went round and round.
I climbed up on a big brown horse,
And it went up and down.

I sat high up
On a big brown horse
And rode around
On the merry-go-round
And rode around
On the merry-go-round
I rode around
On the merry-go-round
Around
And round
And
Round...

a circle.

Now, Ill draw a ball.


Grandmother drew three lines on the circle.
Mohini drew three lines on her circle.
It really looked like a ball.
Now lets draw a balloon.
Grandmother added a zig-zag
line to the circle.

Oh! It really looks like a balloon. Mohini clapped with joy.


Mohini drew many circles big and small circles,
red, blue, green and yellow circles. She also added
zig-zag lines to these.

And now there were many


balloons.
Can you draw something else
with a circle? asked Grandmother.
Yes, said Mohini.
She drew a wheel, a moon, a
sun, a rabbit and her own face.

Teacher's Page

Activities now have more to do with what the children like to do. You can try
this:
l Make the children sit in a circle. Ask a child to start counting from
number 1. The child sitting next to him/her continues with number 2
and so on. The child who has to say number 5 or 10 says chup and the
next child starts with number 1 again.
l Draw a circle on the floor with a piece of chalk. Let the children walk
along the drawn line. Ask them to hold a book/any object in one hand
and walk along the line. Talk to them about balancing things. Ask them
if they feel giddy on a merry-go-round.
4Develop listening skills
The children can be taken outdoors during the break and allowed to eat
their snacks there. Let them talk to each other about the different tastes
of foods. Ask children to speak to the point and take turns. Also inculcate
in them a habit of listening when others speak.
4Develop pronunciation
Read the following words and say aloud with the children:
around

bound
found

brown
ground

down
sound

4Exposure to language
Display the following sight words in the classroom and let the children
read them aloud.
circle

line

oval

square

triangle

zig-zag

4Develop speaking skills


Children can play Farmers in the Den or any other song of their
choice.
The farmers in the den,
The farmer wants a wife,
The farmers in the den,
The wife wants a child,
Heigho-the cheerio,
The child wants a nurse,
The farmers in the den.
The nurse wants a dog,
The dog wants a bone.

4Develop writing skills / fine motor coordination


1.Write the letters from a to q on the blackboard. Let the children read and
write from the blackboard and the picture dictionary. Children should
not be forced or pressurised to recognise words or letters. This can be
done through pictures or actions.
2.Pour water from one container to
MATERIAL REQUIRED
another.
4Raising awareness
2 glasses / cups / pots
