For the children ageing from 0 to 3 years of age, the modelling clay activity will be
organized. During this activity, the tutor will physically interact with the child. This means the
tutor will make the child learn about to mould their hands in order to give shape to the clay by
using their own hands to support the child’s hands. Also, guide the children verbally as and when
required during this activity.
Similarly, for the pre scholars the spelling game activity will be organized in which the
children will have to use two alphabets at a time in order to form a spelling. This will help them
in learning new spellings. While conducting this activity I will be indulged within the game and
initially make the children learn how they could alphabets while playing and then verbally guide
them for the purpose of helping them.
