2. Main Activity 1: Let’s Plant a Seed! (25 minutes)

Objective:

Let children plant their own seeds and feel the joy of gardening.

Steps:

Provide a small pot or a patch of soil for each child.

2. Drop one seed in (e.g., green gram).

3. Cover it with soil.

4. Water it gently using a cup or watering can.

Encouragement Line:

“You’re planting life! With your care, it will grow into something beautiful.”

3. Storytime: The Seed’s Journey (15 minutes)

Objective:

Build imagination and reinforce the plant growth process.

Steps:

Tell this short story:

“Once upon a time, there was a tiny seed. It was sleeping under the soil. One day, the sunlight tickled it, and the rain gave it water. Slowly, the seed grew roots, then a small green sprout. It stretched, and soon, it became a tall plant with beautiful flowers!”

Ask: - “What do you think your seed will become?”

“What helped the seed grow?”

4. Observation & Care: Let’s Be Garden Friends! (20 minutes)

Objective:

Teach care and patience by observing and watering the planted seeds.

Steps:

Help children gently water their planted seeds again.

Show them how to check the soil’s moisture:

“If the soil feels dry, it needs water.”

Sunlight → “Put your pot near the window or outside.”

Daily care → “Check on your plant every day!”
