PROGRAMME OVERVIEW


Theme: A Day in a Village
Venue: Rangoli Gardens
Duration: Full Day Educational Visit

Big Idea: Communities work together to meet their daily needs using simple resources, shared responsibilities, and traditional systems.


Program Overview

This experiential visit is designed for CBSE Grade 1 students to explore village life through direct participation, observation, role-play, and guided reflection. Instead of learning about villages only through textbooks, students touch materials, act as community helpers, sort transport types, and connect food to farming in a real-world environment.

The programme integrates Environmental Studies, English, and Value Education in an age-appropriate, structured format. Learning happens through doing, speaking, drawing, and reflecting. The design ensures strong conceptual clarity while maintaining high engagement and active participation.

The visit supports experiential and competency-based learning aligned with CBSE expectations and the vision of NEP 2020 by moving beyond recall toward applied understanding.

NEP 2020 Integration

This programme supports key foundational stage priorities:

Competency-Based Learning
Students apply concepts in real-life settings instead of memorising definitions.

Experiential Learning
More than 70 percent of the programme involves participation, role-play, sorting tasks, and observation-based discussion.

21st Century Skills Development

  • Critical thinking through transport sorting and helper comparison

  • Creativity through drawing and role-play

  • Communication through oral sharing

  • Collaboration through group games

Multidisciplinary Integration
EVS concepts, language development, and value education are woven into one continuous experience.

Foundational Project-Based Approach
Post-tour drawing and role-play activities act as mini-project extensions reinforcing applied understanding.

  • Identify at least three community helpers

  • Recognise one type of traditional transport

  • Differentiate between village and city features
