It is Fun

This is a listening and speaking activity. Your teacher will play sounds of animals such as the croaking of a frog, cackling of a hen, quack of a duck, and bleat of a sheep. Listen carefully and try to name the animal that makes each sound.

Examples:
- Croaking sound → Frog
- Cackling sound → Hen
- Quacking sound → Duck
- Bleating sound → Sheep

This is an oral speaking activity. Students should use their imagination and speak in complete sentences. Sample answers are given below:

Child 1: I would say, 'Hello, big elephant! You are very strong!'
Child 2: I would say, 'Please do not step on me, dear elephant!'
Child 3: I would say, 'You have a very long trunk. Can I touch it?'

(Students may give their own creative answers. The important thing is to speak in a full sentence beginning with 'I would say...')

Using the given action words, here are sentences:

1. climb — Monkeys climb trees. (given example)
2. leap — Frogs leap over the pond.
3. swim — Fish swim in the river.
4. trot — Horses trot on the road.
5. fly — Birds fly in the sky.

Students should think of an action they can do that is similar to an animal or bird. Sample answers:

- I can swim like a fish.
- I can run like a horse.
- I can jump like a frog.
- I can fly (in my dreams) like a bird.

(Write any one sentence that is true for you.)

Two animals or birds (other than fish) that can swim:

1. Duck
2. Frog

(Other acceptable answers: Dog, Elephant, Swan, Penguin)

Two animals that live on trees:

1. Monkey
2. Squirrel

(Other acceptable answers: Parrot, Owl, Koala)

The child in the poem can do many things like animals and birds. The child can:
- Swim like a fish
- Climb like a monkey
- Leap like a frog
- Trot like a horse
- Fly like a bird

The child says it is fun to do all these things.

This is a personal answer. Students should write two actions from the poem that they like the most and give a reason.

Sample answer:
I like swimming like a fish the most because it is cool and fun in the water. I also like flying like a bird because I can see everything from high up in the sky.

(Students may choose any two actions and give their own reason.)

Note: The picture cannot be seen clearly from the text, but based on the chapter theme (animals and their actions), a general model answer is provided below.

Sample sentences about the picture:

1. I can see animals in the picture.
2. The monkey is climbing a tree.
3. The horse is trotting on the ground.
4. The birds are flying in the sky.
5. The frog is leaping near the pond.

(Students should look at their textbook picture carefully and write sentences about what they actually see.)

Match each animal to its correct action:

| Animal | Action |
|------------|----------|
| The horse | trots |
| The lamb | leaps |
| The snake | crawls |
| The squirrel | runs |
| The monkey | swings |

Explanation:
- A horse moves by trotting (a steady, rhythmic pace).
- A lamb leaps and jumps around playfully.
- A snake has no legs, so it crawls on the ground.
- A squirrel runs quickly from place to place.
- A monkey swings from branch to branch on trees.

This is a drawing and colouring activity. Follow the steps shown in your textbook:

Step 1: Draw the basic outline or shape of the rangoli (usually a circle or a dot pattern in the centre).

Step 2: Add more patterns around the centre — petals, lines, or curves — to make the design bigger and more beautiful.

Step 3: Colour the rangoli using bright and cheerful colours such as red, yellow, green, blue, and orange.

Tip: Use a pencil first, then trace with a pen or crayon, and finally fill in the colours neatly without going outside the lines.
