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.
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.

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.
Students will be able to:
Identify at least three community helpers
Recognise one type of traditional transport
Differentiate between village and city features
Participate in simple role-play activities
Express one observation in a complete sentence
Demonstrate responsible public behaviour
By the end of the visit, students will:
Correctly identify one helper and their tool
Sort transport into old and modern categories
Draw one observed village feature
State one value learned (sharing, cooperation, respect)
Follow safety rules throughout the visit
