How do I Spend my Day? (Time)

This is an open-ended discussion question. A sample daily routine for a Class 1 student:

• I wake up in the morning.
• I brush my teeth and take a bath.
• I eat breakfast.
• I go to school.
• I come home and eat lunch.
• I play in the evening.
• I do my homework.
• I eat dinner at night.
• I go to sleep.

(Students should describe their own daily routine in their own words.)

I brush my teeth in the morning after waking up and at night before going to sleep.

(This is a personal response question. Students should answer based on their own habit. The expected answer is: in the morning and/or at night.)

I take a bath in the morning.

(This is a personal response question. Students should answer based on their own habit. The expected answer is: in the morning.)

Concept: Morning activities are those we do after waking up and before going to school or starting the day's main work.

Activities typically done in the MORNING (tick these):
• Brushing teeth ☑
• Taking a bath / getting ready ☑
• Eating breakfast ☑
• Going to school ☑
• Morning exercise / yoga ☑

Activities NOT done in the morning (do not tick):
• Sleeping / going to bed
• Eating dinner
• Watching stars

(Students should tick whichever pictures from the given set show morning activities such as brushing teeth, bathing, eating breakfast, going to school, etc.)

Concept: Daytime activities happen when the sun is up — between morning and evening.

Activities/things typically seen or done DURING THE DAY (tick these):
• Sun shining in the sky ☑
• Playing outside ☑
• Going to school ☑
• Eating lunch ☑
• Birds flying ☑

Things NOT seen during the day (do not tick):
• Moon and stars
• Sleeping at night

(Students should tick whichever pictures from the given set show daytime activities or things associated with daytime such as sunshine, outdoor play, school, lunch, etc.)

Concept: Night-time activities are those we do after sunset, when it is dark outside.

Activities typically done at NIGHT (tick these):
• Eating dinner ☑
• Sleeping / going to bed ☑
• Brushing teeth before bed ☑
• Watching stars / moon ☑
• Reading a bedtime story ☑

Activities NOT done at night (do not tick):
• Going to school
• Playing in sunlight
• Eating breakfast

(Students should tick whichever pictures from the given set show night-time activities such as sleeping, eating dinner, brushing teeth before bed, looking at stars, etc.)

How to guess the time of day from a picture:

• If the picture shows a bright sun high in the sky → it is afternoon/daytime.
• If the picture shows a rising sun, birds, and people getting ready → it is morning.
• If the picture shows a setting sun, orange sky → it is evening.
• If the picture shows a moon, stars, and dark sky → it is night.

What we do at different times:
- Morning: Wake up, brush teeth, bathe, eat breakfast, go to school.
- Afternoon/Day: Study, play, eat lunch.
- Evening: Play outside, do homework.
- Night: Eat dinner, read, sleep.

(Students should look at the picture carefully and identify clues like the sun, moon, stars, or sky colour to guess the time of day.)

Concept: Some activities take more time than others. We compare two activities and colour the one that takes longer.

General examples of longer vs. shorter activities:

| Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Which takes longer? |
|---|---|---|
| Eating a full meal | Drinking a glass of water | Eating a full meal |
| Taking a bath | Washing hands | Taking a bath |
| Reading a book | Turning a page | Reading a book |

Answer: Colour the picture that shows the activity which takes more time (e.g., eating a meal, taking a bath, cooking food, etc.).

(Students should look at both pictures, think about how long each activity takes in real life, and colour the one that takes longer.)

Concept: Compare two activities and identify which one takes more time.

General guidance:
- Activities like cooking food, going on a trip, growing a plant take a long time.
- Activities like switching on a light, clapping hands, blinking eyes take a very short time.

Answer: Look at both pictures carefully. Think about how long each activity takes in real life. Colour the picture that shows the activity which takes longer time.

(Students should colour the picture showing the longer activity based on their own experience and understanding.)

Concept: Different seasons have different weather, and we use different objects/clothes/things in each season.

Standard matching of objects with seasons:

| Object | Season |
|---|---|
| Umbrella / Raincoat | Monsoon (Rainy Season) |
| Woollen sweater / Muffler / Blanket | Winter |
| Fan / Cold drink / Ice cream | Summer |
| Flowers / Colourful clothes | Spring |

Answer:
- Umbrella / Raincoat → Monsoon
- Sweater / Muffler → Winter
- Fan / Cold drink → Summer
- Flowers → Spring

(Students should draw lines matching each object shown in the picture to the correct season.)

In the summer season, I like to eat:
• Ice cream 🍦
• Cold drinks / Lassi / Sharbat
• Watermelon and other juicy fruits
• Cucumber and other cooling vegetables

Reason: In summer it is very hot, so we eat cold and juicy things to feel cool and refreshed.

(This is a personal response question. Students should answer based on their own preference.)

In the winter season, I like to wear:
• Woollen sweater
• Jacket / Coat
• Muffler / Scarf
• Gloves
• Warm socks

Reason: In winter it is very cold, so we wear warm woollen clothes to keep our body warm.

(This is a personal response question. Students should answer based on their own preference.)

The four seasons and their key features:

1. Summer (गर्मी)
- Very hot weather
- Bright sunshine
- People use fans and coolers
- We eat ice cream and cold drinks
- Trees have full green leaves

2. Monsoon / Rainy Season (बरसात)
- It rains heavily
- Dark clouds in the sky
- People use umbrellas and raincoats
- Frogs and earthworms are seen
- Puddles of water on the ground

3. Winter (सर्दी)
- Very cold weather
- Fog in the morning
- People wear sweaters, jackets, mufflers
- We drink hot tea / soup
- Nights are long

4. Spring (बसंत)
- Pleasant weather (not too hot, not too cold)
- Flowers bloom
- Birds sing
- Colourful butterflies are seen
- Trees have new leaves and flowers

How to match:
- Picture showing rain and umbrella → Monsoon
- Picture showing snow/fog and warm clothes → Winter
- Picture showing hot sun and fan → Summer
- Picture showing flowers and butterflies → Spring

(Students should write the name of the season below each picture and draw lines to match pictures with the correct season name.)

Project Instructions:

Step 1 — Divide your page into 4 sections, one for each season:
- Summer | Monsoon | Winter | Spring

Step 2 — Draw or stick pictures of favourite foods for each season:

| Season | Favourite Foods | Festivals |
|---|---|---|
| Summer | Ice cream, Mango, Watermelon, Lassi, Cold drinks | Gudi Padwa, Baisakhi |
| Monsoon | Pakoras, Corn (Bhutta), Hot tea, Samosa | Teej, Onam, Raksha Bandhan |
| Winter | Gajar ka Halwa, Til ke Ladoo, Hot soup, Makki ki Roti | Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Christmas |
| Spring | Sweets, Thandai, Gujiya, Fresh fruits | Holi, Vasant Panchami |

Step 3 — Write the name of the season and festival below each picture.

Step 4 — Colour your drawings neatly.

(This is a creative project. Students should draw or paste pictures based on their own experience and local festivals celebrated in their region. There is no single correct answer — all responses showing seasonal foods and festivals are acceptable.)
