Paper Boats

Meena was playing with paper boats. She was making paper boats and gently putting them in the stream to sail.

Meena was angry because the boy was overturning her paper boats in the stream. She had made the boats carefully and the boy was spoiling her fun by tipping them over.

Meena helped the boy by teaching him how to make paper boats. She took out coloured paper of different sizes and showed him how to fold and re-fold the paper step by step to make a boat. She was patient and kind while teaching him.

With paper we can make many things, such as: paper aeroplanes, paper fans, paper flowers, paper hats, paper cups, paper animals (origami), and paper crowns. (Students should discuss in small groups and share their ideas with the class.)

I play many games with my friends such as hide and seek, cricket, kho-kho, and carrom. I like cricket the most because it is exciting, it keeps me active, and I enjoy playing as a team with my friends. (Students should share their own personal answers.)

True. The boy was overturning Meena's paper boats in the stream, which means he thought it was fun to do so.

False. Meena did not run home to complain. Instead, she spoke to the boy directly and later helped him make paper boats.

True. When Meena offered to help, the boy said, "I don't know how to fold the paper to make boats," which shows he did not know how to make them.

False. Meena had coloured paper of different sizes, not just white paper.

*This is an activity-based question. Here is a sample response:*

I talked to my grandmother at home. She told me that when she was young, she used to play 'Gilli-Danda' and 'Pitthu' with her friends. She taught me how to play Pitthu. In this game, we stack flat stones in a pile and try to knock them down with a ball. Then we have to rebuild the pile before the other team hits us with the ball. I shared this game with my friends in school and we all enjoyed playing it together.
