mould you for a better and successful forthcoming year. So get ready for your treasure hunt.
Guidelines for parents
In this modern world parents get very little time to spend with their little prince/princess so we are suggesting a few activities

’To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear’’
1. Make your ward to do warm up exercise and Surya Namaskar daily along with the given links

mothers in kitchen, laying table, filling water bottles, dusting, watering of plants, cleaning their cupboard, arranging
their toys, feeding birds etc.
3. English conversationConverse in English with your child & encourage the child to communicate confidently with
visitors & relatives. Develop a habit of speaking in proper sentences and seeking permission. Some sentences such as

your kindergartener what the five senses are all about! Just pop a bag of popcorn and he/she is ready to learn.

Encourage your child to describe how he/she uses each body part to learn about things. For example, eyes are for
seeing and observing, ears are for listening, nose is for smelling, etc.
Invite your child to flip through old magazines in search of pictures of a nose, eyes, a mouth, ears, and hands. Help
your kindergartener cut them out and glues each item below under its heading.
Stick the popcorn in the microwave/pressure cooker and hand your child the observation sheet to record what he/she
sees, hears, and smells as the popcorn pops. Then when the popcorn is finished cooking (and has cooled down a bit)
invite your child to record how the popcorn feels and tastes! Help your ward to attempt the observation sheet below.
Then enjoy your tasty snack! Talk about her/his observations, and be sure to ask questions like, "If the popcorn
smelled like garbage, would you still want to eat it?" and "If the popcorn felt slimy, would you still want to touch it?"
Try to think of other foods you could use in addition to popcorn. It's a delicious way to teach your child how all 5
senses are important!
