CBSE Class 1 English — NCERT Solutions

Below is the correct matching of each body-part word with its picture (since the actual images cannot be seen, the standard correct matches are given as a teacher/student reference):

1. Head → Picture of a head
2. Nose → Picture of a nose
3. Eye → Picture of an eye
4. Ear → Picture of an ear
5. Cheek → Picture of a cheek
6. Hand → Picture of a hand
7. Tongue → Picture of a tongue
8. Arm → Picture of an arm
9. Mouth → Picture of a mouth
10. Foot → Picture of a foot
11. Leg → Picture of a leg

How to do it: Read each word carefully, say it aloud, then point to that part on your own body. Draw a line from the word to the correct picture.

Steps to complete the activity:

1. Place your left palm flat in the centre of the box (or your right palm if you prefer).
2. Hold a pencil in your other hand and carefully draw around all five fingers and the outline of your palm.
3. Lift your hand — you will see the outline of your hand on the paper.
4. Decorate the outline using crayons, coloured paper bits, bindis, stickers, or any craft material you like.
5. After decorating, look at your friend's hand drawing and compare:

• Are the hands the same size?
• Are the fingers the same length?
• How is the decoration different?

Observation: Every child's hand is unique — some hands are bigger, some smaller, and everyone decorates differently. This shows that all of us are special!

Given: Six sentences describing daily actions, to be matched with six pictures.

Concept: We read each sentence carefully and think about what action is being described, then match it to the correct picture.

Matching (based on the actions described):

1. I comb my hair. → Match with the picture showing a child combing hair.
2. I see my teacher. → Match with the picture showing a child looking at/greeting a teacher.
3. I eat my food. → Match with the picture showing a child eating.
4. I hear the bell ring. → Match with the picture showing a child listening to a bell.
5. I walk to school. → Match with the picture showing a child walking with a school bag.
6. I play football. → Match with the picture showing a child playing football.

Key action words to remember: comb, see, eat, hear, walk, play.

Given: Capital and small letter pairs from G to P.

Concept: We practise writing each letter pair neatly, following the correct strokes.

Practise writing each pair as shown below:

$$Gg \quad Hh \quad Ii \quad Jj \quad Kk$$
$$Ll \quad Mm \quad Nn \quad Oo \quad Pp$$

Trace and write each letter carefully in your notebook:

• Gg — Capital G, then small g
• Hh — Capital H, then small h
• Ii — Capital I, then small i
• Jj — Capital J, then small j
• Kk — Capital K, then small k
• Ll — Capital L, then small l
• Mm — Capital M, then small m
• Nn — Capital N, then small n
• Oo — Capital O, then small o
• Pp — Capital P, then small p

Tip: Sing the ABC song while writing to remember the order of letters.

Given: A picture showing various animals in a natural setting.

Sample Answer: I see many animals in the picture. There are monkeys, snakes, birds, and other animals living together in a forest or jungle.

Given: A picture with several animals.

Sample Answer: Yes! I can see a monkey, a snake, a parrot (bird), an elephant, a frog, and a rabbit in the picture.

This is a personal answer question. Students should answer based on their own experience.

Sample Answer: Yes, I have a cap. Its colour is blue.

(If you do not have a cap, you may say: No, I do not have a cap.)

Given: The rhyme uses a cow with the sound 'moo-moo'. We need to replace the animal and its sound with another animal.

Concept: Each animal makes a different sound. We substitute the animal name and its sound into the same rhyme pattern.

Example 1 – Cat:

My dear grandpa had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on that farm,
He had a cat
E-I-E-I-O
With a miaon-miaon here
And a miaon-miaon there
Here a miaon, there a miaon
Everywhere a miaon-miaon
My dear grandpa had a farm
E-I-E-I-O

Example 2 – Dog:

My dear grandpa had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on that farm,
He had a dog
E-I-E-I-O
With a bow-bow here
And a bow-bow there
Here a bow, there a bow
Everywhere a bow-bow
My dear grandpa had a farm
E-I-E-I-O

Example 3 – Goat:

My dear grandpa had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on that farm,
He had a goat
E-I-E-I-O
With a meh-meh here
And a meh-meh there
Here a meh, there a meh
Everywhere a meh-meh
My dear grandpa had a farm
E-I-E-I-O

Final Answer: Students may use any animal and its sound (in English or their own language) and fit it into the same rhyme pattern.

Given: A picture showing various fruits and vegetables.

Answer: In the picture, I can see many fruits and vegetables. There are mangoes, apples, bananas, guavas, tomatoes, carrots, brinjals, and other colourful fruits and vegetables.

(Note: Children may name any fruits and vegetables they can identify in the picture.)

Given: A question about personal experience at school.

Answer: I sit with my friends on the bench near my classroom (or in the school dining hall/under a tree) when I have lunch at school.

Note: Children may give their own personal answers based on their school setting.

Given: The question asks about clothes worn in summer.

Concept: In summer the weather is hot, so we wear light and cool clothes.

Answer: In summer, I wear light cotton clothes such as a frock, a t-shirt, or shorts to keep myself cool.

Yes, I have seen a rainbow. (Students should answer based on their own experience. If they have seen a rainbow, they say 'Yes'. If not, they say 'No, I have not seen a rainbow yet.')
