Foreword

India has a celebrated tradition of nurturing children's formative years through a

well-defined process, widely known as sanskars. Transmitted from one generation to
another, these sanskars pave the way for adequate care to be taken in the first eight
years of children's lives to favourably shape every aspect of their growth, behaviour and
capabilities in the later years.
Keeping in view the importance of this stage, the National Education Policy
(NEP) 2020, aptly recommends bringing the foundational five years (children from 3–8
years of age) into the domain of school education. An individual's lifelong learning, social
and emotional behaviour and overall health depend upon this stage. Besides, children
also require diligent support for the development of their physiological and motor skills
to attain literacy, numeracy and creative and aesthetic sensibilities in the cognitive
domain. The policy recommends an exclusive National Curriculum Framework for this
stage, which comprehensively guides the whole education system to not only provide
high-quality education at the foundational stage but also to carry this momentum forward
to the next stages of school education.
The National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) recommends
early childhood care and education to be rooted in Indian culture and ethos. Besides, it
also focuses on integrating a child's experiences at home with the knowledge, skills
and attitudes which would be developed within the precinct of the school. This marks a
departure from the prevailing system of merely learning from books to a more congenial
play-way and competency-based learning system, where a child's engagement with what
they do and learn becomes more important.
Following this recommendation, the syllabus for the Foundational Stage has, therefore,
been anchored on the conceptual foundations of Panchkoshiya Vikas (the development
of the five layers of human personality) as elucidated in the Taittiriya Upanishad, a part
of the Taittiriya Samhita of the Krishna Yajur Veda so as to enable the 'Self' to be realised
by the individual as the ultimate goal of life, thereby ensuring a harmonious blending of
India's cherished civilisational wisdom with the contemporary outlook of an individual's
holistic development.
The success of this effort would obviously depend on the steps, that anganwadis,
schools and concerned institutions will take to encourage children at this stage to develop
appropriate competencies. In order to achieve this, various learning and teaching materials
available both in print as well as online, on the recommended curriculum websites, need
to be utilised. Parents should also do the same under the careful guidance of anganwadis,
schools and concerned institutions.
 The designers of the syllabus have done their part by arranging different competencies
that are to be honed sequentially in all five years of learning. While doing so, they
have also addressed the issues pertaining to the content load. They have done this by
restructuring and reorienting the process of knowledge acquisition at different levels of
foundational learning. Greater attention to child psychology and the time that would be
available for learning and teaching in different setups have been kept in mind to achieve
this objective.
This activity book, developed for children of Balvatika, has been developed taking
care of the perspectives of NEP 2020 and has attempted to provide competency-based
worksheets in a simple, interesting and engaging manner. The book has integrated arts
and crafts through which teachers make children aware and motivated to appreciate the
aesthetic sense inherent in such activities. The activity book also provides situational
awareness to transact the underlying concepts easily in their own contexts. This activity
book is rich in substance; providing varied experiences, and integrating play-way
methods of learning through toys and games along with a variety of other activities, and
questions that lead children to develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Besides, the activity book includes rich subject matter and activities to help children
develop the necessary sensitivity towards our environment. Additionally, the activity
book also provides ample scope for our States/UTs to add content with local perspectives
in the learning-teaching material that they may develop as per the recommendations of
NEP 2020.
The NCERT appreciates the hard work done by the Committee set up to develop this
syllabus and learning-teaching material for Foundational Stage. I thank the Chairperson
of this Committee, Professor Shashi Kala Wanjari and all other members for completing
this task in time and in such an admirable way. I am also thankful to all institutions and
organisations, which have generously extended their help and assistance in making this
possible. I am specially thankful to Dr K Kasturirangan, the Chairperson of the National
Steering Committee, and its other members including those of the Mandate Group and
the Review Committee for their timely and valuable suggestions, which have been of
immense value in conceptualising and developing this activity book.
As an organisation committed to reforming school education in Bharat and bringing
in continuous improvement in the quality of all learning and teaching material which it
develops, NCERT will look forward to critical comments and suggestions from all its
stakeholders to further improve upon these textbooks.

 About The Activity Book

The foundational stage which includes children in the age group of 3 to 8 years is of
utmost importance and this is the period when the young brain develops at a rapid rate
than any other time in an individual’s life. For a healthy brain development, the children
need positive learning experiences catering to all the domains of development. The
positive and planned experiences will build a foundation for future learning of young
children, their health, their behaviour and success in future life. The everyday playful
experiences shape a young child’s brain. The exemplar worksheets (total 92) given in
‘ANAND — Activity Book for Balvatika’ portray the same.
The best way of helping children learn at this stage is offering them play based
activities based on ‘simple to complex’, ‘familiar to unfamiliar’ and ‘concrete experiences
to abstract ideas approach’ according to their age and developmental level. The role
of teachers and adults is to provide age and developmentally appropriate play-based
activities and experiences. These would be in the form of real, hands-on experiences
followed by worksheets. The purposefully planned worksheets would help children gain
understanding of different competencies and strengthen their foundational skills.
A child learns best when there is joy in learning, hence providing independence and
flexibility to children while doing any task is very important. Well designed integrated
worksheets for Balvatika give children an opportunity to learn through practice,
discussions and learning by doing. It promotes the use of concrete experiences (before
using the worksheets) and use of locally available material and natural resources rather
than traditional teacher-led classrooms. These worksheets would provide children an
opportunity to connect their visual memories with concepts learned in the classroom and
also connect with their prior experiences.
The exemplar worksheets have been developed to provide opportunities for children
with diverse capabilities for joyful learning in order to exhibit grade level outcomes.
As suggested in NEP 2020, the focus of education should be on the development of
competency rather than on transferring content only. The nurturing of young minds
through critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills, creativity, empathy,
etc., along with regular foundational literacy and numeracy is the need of the hour
and thus calls for a modified approach in designing learning-teaching materials. The
National Curricular Framework for the Foundational Stage (NCF-FS 2022) places
huge importance on taking all the domains of development in synchronisation and
hence integration of the same has been kept at the core. ‘Panchakosha’ (as mentioned in
NCF-FS) has been placed at the centre to draft academic content and visual images for
the children, so that physical development (annamaya kosha), life energy (pranamaya
kosha), emotional development (manomaya kosha), cognitive development (vijnanamaya
kosha), bliss (anandamaya kosha), all can be catered simultaneously.
These worksheets would promote school readiness for children and make sure that they
are aware of the basic language and cognitive skills required to enter the formal school
system. For a smooth transition, it is important that children acquire skills in advance,
which would help them to perform age-appropriate activities. These worksheets will help
the children to develop and practice healthy and safe habits, enhance sensory perceptions,
build a fit and flexible body, develop emotional intelligence, logical thinking and expression
through art.
These worksheets would help the children to develop fine motor skills, logical thinking,
and learn things on their own. These exemplar worksheets are based on competencies (as
given in NCF-FS, 2022) and have suggestive ideas and questions that a teacher or a parent
can ask the child to assess their understanding.
How to use the Worksheets (for Teachers or Adults)
 The worksheets (catering all the five domains) for Balvatika are designed in a manner
that these can be easily cut for use. The worksheets can be removed from the activity
book and later be kept in a portfolio that will also help the teachers or parents to
assess children’s work. This will help the children to work and focus on a single
worksheet and not get distracted by other worksheet activities.
 Similar worksheets may be created to ensure holistic learning of different domains.
 The worksheets can be taken as examples and teachers can create more exercises
based on the concepts. For instance, a given worksheet can be modified by reducing
the number of objects, changing the shapes, etc.
 Use local resources and materials and introduce the concepts of nature wherever
possible before and while using the worksheets, for example, creating patterns with
leaves, making rangoli with dried flowers, twigs, etc.
 Use the real or concrete objects, stories and examples as per your region and
contextualise them to relate to a child’s life. For example, adding folklore, regional
rhymes or songs, before doing the worksheet on animals, ask children about the
animals they see in their surroundings or zoo, pets at their home, etc., so that children
can connect their concrete experiences with learning.
 The worksheets will help the teacher to assess the child’s performance in a formative
way rather than a formal summative assessment at the end of the activity, observe
children during discussions or while performing in the class and identify the learning
gaps and facilitate accordingly.
 Fostercreativity and independence, allow exploration, and hands-on experiences
before doing the worksheets and let children form their own ideas around the concept.
Let each child work at their own pace.

x
  P
 romote socio-emotional development by creating an interactive classroom and
promote child-to-child and child-to-teacher interaction as much as possible.
 Use child-friendly, appreciative and positive words for children and make them feel
seen and heard, for example, present the drawings, collages created by children on
classroom walls, in the Balvatika corridor or verandah, etc.
 Make sure to have special provisions and customised versions of these worksheets
for children with special needs, for example, allow children to use stamps in case
they have a problem with holding writing tools, provide audio description of pictures
for visually impaired children, etc.
 Encourage children to keep their belongings in a designated place to develop positive
habits. Also, ask them to keep back the items used (colours, brushes, blocks, etc.)
after completing a worksheet.
 Keep repeating the rhymes and songs during the transition time from one activity
to another and include dance and actions to ensure coordination and flexible body
movements whenever possible.
The purpose of the worksheets given here is to provide the teachers or parents with some
exemplary ideas and in no way does this serve as the complete or prescribed workbook. It
provides liberty to imagine, add or skip the worksheet based on the children’s context and
needs. Some connection is to be established between the home and classroom vocabulary
and create a sense of enjoyment while doing these worksheets.
