Lesson: May I help you?
Subject: English and Environmental studies.
Class: Pre-primary and Primary
Skills: Speaking, reading, and writing.
Moral values are standards that help an individual choose between right and wrong or good and bad. This understanding is necessary to make honest, credible, and fair decisions in daily life. Knowing good moral values such as kindness, humility, courage, and compassion at an early age builds a child's character. It forms the very core of their being and becomes a foundation of their moral beliefs. This is why it's essential to start teaching them moral values while they're still children.
The lesson and the activities are ignited your students 'How he/she is special? and What makes them special?' in order to make the value-oriented persons. It has a Ted-Ed video to comprehend your student's learning by answering simple questions at their home. Click here to answer the questions in the 'Think' section.

Personal hygiene is very important in our life. It's also a symbol of one's dignity and confidence. Why cleanliness and hygiene are important in our life to get healthy life is the main objective of the lesson.

Topic: Language games
Skill: Vocabulary
Grade: Primary or Young Learners.
Learning a language requires a great deal of effort. Games help students to make and sustain the effort of learning. Games provide language practice in the various skills – speaking, writing, listening and reading. They create a meaningful context for language use. Here I am going to describe a few games to teach and practice vocabulary.
Onion Rings:
This is a good game for practicing vocabulary, spellings and also a good speaking activity when you have a short dialogue you want to practice.You do need room for this or could do it outside.First, divide the class into two.One half stands in a circle facing outwards, the other half stands in a larger circle around them facing inwards.Each pupil should be opposite another pupil.They have 2-3 minutes to ask and answer as many questions as possible, then the outer circle has to move onto the next pupil, stop when they've come full…
Here I prepared two videos to practice the Telugu alphabet and recognize the letters in a random way. Especially these videos help the teachers to create interest among the children and reduce the work burden and children for self-learning. Thought these are regular videos it will help the teachers to learn the alphabet for Dyslexia and low-performance children. Because of the new way of teaching the TELUGU language is changed from "Letter to the Word" to "Word to the Letter" since learning happens known to unknown. So once you taught the words then you need to introduce the alphabet in the particular word. So in this word based teaching, you need to practice the alphabet separately between the periods. So these videos may help your children to learn and memorize the alphabet better than traditional teaching.
This is the video to practice and gives listing input to the children. Usually, we use charts and flashcards to practic…
