EVS or Environmental Studies helps the children to know about the environment. This is one subject which doesn’t need cramming and children get so much of interest in it. There are many methods of teaching EVS which can cater the interest of learners. In fact, many methods are already being used by the teachers. Each and every topic needs different kind of methods to teach. When we correlate EVS with language, it creates interest of the students in EVS in relation to the language. For example, In class I, Our helpers can be taught with the help of Rhymes or by showing them the Power Point presentation. So I have made some rhymes for the students to enhance their creativity & interest. A Role Play competition was organized & all the students participated with enthusiasm. EVS PROJECT
