Topic: Animals
The facilitators of PP2 introduced the concept of animals to the children through different
games, stories and activities. The concept of wild animals was introduced through games like
‘Let’s listen’ and ‘Hidden Animals’ in which different sounds of animals were played and
children guessed the animal. Listening and observation skills were improved through this
activity.
The concept of domestic animals was introduced through a rhyme 'Old McDonald'. Facilitators
weaved a story wherein the essence of love and attachment between animals and human
beings was brought forth.
Many activities were conducted to help children differentiate between wild, domestic and pet
animals. These activities helped in strengthening their fine motor skills and eye-hand
coordination. Children exhibited the activities through collage of animals, stick animal
puppets and stuffed toy animals. Facilitators showed the stories for each concept of animals
introduced.
