Live and let live (Activity Sheet)
The India Map has been divided into three parts horizontally. Each part will focus on an important mission.
- Protecting the Nature and Wild Life.
- Conservation of water and Resources.
- Save Earth and avoid/reduce pollution.
Values Inculcated:
- Becoming a responsible citizen
- Thinking and creative skills (thinking of captions)
Materials Required:
- India Map
- Colour pencils
Getting ready:
The teacher should have a discussion with the children about the three important missions. How can we protect the Nature and Wild Life? As a student, we should not spoil the water bodies, throw waste, plastic etc when we go for trips, picnics etc. While visiting the Sanctuaries, we should not make noise, honk etc as this will frighten the animals.
Water conservation is the need of the hour. Discuss the rain harvesting methods and if they are being implemented in the apartments where the children reside. What are the ways we can save water? Eg: Fill a bucket with water for our bath instead of using a shower. Use the water that was used to wash vegetables to water the in-house garden.
We can reduce pollution by car-pooling, cycling and walking to short distances.
This Independence Day, we should pledge to protect our Mother Earth by being a responsible citizen. The freedom-fighters sacrificed their lives to make India a free country. Now, it is our responsibility to take care of Mother India and to protect her.
