Back to Nature Activity 1 Storytelling

By taking cues from the Covid pandemic children can be taught how the birds and the animals took revenge on mankind for overlooking and destroying nature.

The real story of the covid-19 pandemic tells them how nature heals and repairs itself. Whenever the toxin overload interferes with the normal working of nature and the ecosystem, the defaulters are punished by mother nature. It can be recalled how nature forced humans to lockdown and let birds and animals roam freely. Men were penalised in the form of pain, suffering, hunger, discomfort and even death.

The story ends with the moral that we should move back to nature and act wisely so that the normal working of nature is not disturbed.

Back to Nature Activity 2 Diary Entry about House Sparrows

To tell the sudden extinction of the House Sparrows students can be given the assignment to write a diary entry about house Sparrow. They can be encouraged to ask their parents and grandparents about sparrows. This way we can invoke their thought process to observe how the human interferences forced this constantly present bird to a rarely seen bird.

This way children can be taught to raise voice against rapid urbanisation, wastage of ecological resources, high levels of pollution that leads to loss of natural habitat for birds and animals.
