Grade 1: Introduction of “Articles”




An activity was conducted to teach ‘Articles’.  Five Students were given flash cards of vowels A, E, I, O, U   and other students were given flash cards of the consonants.
 The activity started with the song “Old Mac Donald had a farm…….. and on his farm he had some alphabets… A, E, I, O, U.”  Students holding flash cards of vowels and those with consonants went around in the classroom. At the stop of the music, the kids holding the vowels were called out and it was explained that words that begin with vowels is followed by the article “An”.  Then the consonants were called out and it was explained that words that begin with a consonant are followed by the article “A”
This made it easy to learn Articles.  Learning became fun-filled and the children were clear with the concept.
