Fun with Pictures introduces children to fruits and vegetables through pictures, speaking activities, a rhyme, reading and writing.
The poem Fruits for all talks about mangoes and apples and teaches the idea of sharing fruits with others.
In A Visit to the Market, Mini goes to the market with her farmer father. She sees vegetables, fruits, flowers and toys. She learns the names of roses, marigolds, jasmine, pineapples, oranges and watermelon.
Children practise names of fruits and vegetables, colours, simple sentences, sight words and question-answer patterns such as “Are these...?”, “Yes, they are.” and “No, they are not.”
The chapter also promotes healthy eating, sharing food and avoiding food waste.
“Fun with Pictures” अध्याय में बच्चों को चित्रों के माध्यम से फलों और सब्जियों के नाम सीखने तथा उनके बारे में अंग्रेज़ी में बोलने का अवसर मिलता है।
“Fruits for all” कविता में आम और सेब के पेड़ तथा फलों को दूसरों के साथ बाँटने की भावना प्रस्तुत की गई है।
“A Visit to the Market” में मिनी अपने किसान पिता के साथ बाजार जाती है। वहाँ वह सब्जियाँ, फल, फूल और खिलौने देखती है। वह गुलाब, गेंदा, चमेली, अनानास, संतरे और तरबूज के नाम सीखती है।
अध्याय में फलों और सब्जियों के नाम, रंगों के नाम, sight words तथा “Are these...?”, “Yes, they are.” और “No, they are not.” जैसे सरल वाक्य-पैटर्न का अभ्यास कराया गया है।
अध्याय बच्चों को पौष्टिक भोजन खाने, भोजन साझा करने और भोजन बर्बाद न करने की अच्छी आदत भी सिखाता है।
