Before kids are taught formal grammar, they
should be introduced to the basics of grammar by play way method in group
activities. e.g.- Sangya- naming words (Noun), Kriya – action words
(Verbs). Visheshan- describing words (Adjectives). There are many
interesting activities to introduce the basics of grammar at the preschool
level.
The play way group activity engages them
practically so that they remember the topic introduced that action word
describes something which a person can do.
· Form a small group of kids and ask them to come up in front
of the classroom and perform certain acts, e.g. walk, hop, read, write, laugh,
colouring, sing, eat, talk, see, listen, sleep etc. Ask the rest of the class
what they are doing and give a word to that action. This way we can introduce
the concept of action words.
· Ask them to draw pictures or paste pictures of
different actions from magazines and make their own Kriya(verb) flash/index
cards and tell the class which action they have drawn individually.
· We can write the word for each action word in
each flashcard.
Since they have already been introduced to the
concept of Sangya (Noun), they should be encouraged to form short sentences
with a noun and the action word.
These are a few simple activities for
introducing Kriya (verb). Your suggestions are most welcome. Happy teaching
!!!!
