As a teacher, one of my favorite moments in the classroom is watching students light up when they realize that what they’re learning has a place in the real world. Geometry, especially when it comes to 2D and 3D shapes, offers one of the best opportunities to make that connection clear — and exciting.
Recently, Grade I students introduced a hands-on Math activity that allowed students to dive into the world of shapes and spatial understanding. But instead of just memorizing names and properties, we took it a step further: we explored how these shapes appear all around us, in everyday objects — from the dice they roll to the cylindrical water bottles on their desks.

The goal of this activity was simple yet impactful. It helped students to identify and differentiate between 2D and 3D shapes, made them understand the unique properties of each shape (like edges, corners, and faces), and let them recognize these shapes in real-life objects they interact with daily.

By making shape learning visual, tactile, and relatable, students were not only engaged but also began to see mathematics as a living subject — not just numbers and names on paper. It sparked curiosity, encouraged observation, and led to some truly thoughtful conversations

As a teacher, few things bring more joy than watching young minds light up with curiosity and excitement. Recently, our Grade 1 students had the opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of the five sense organs—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin—through a fun and interactive classroom activity.
The goal of the activity was to help children understand how we use our senses every day to explore and interact with the world around us. Instead of simply reading about the senses, we decided to make it a hands-on experience—something our little learners would truly enjoy and remember!

Our Grade 1 students recently participated in an engaging activity to explore the five sense organs—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. Through hands-on stations like Touch and Feel, Smell and Guess, Taste Test, Sound Safari, and an Observation Game, students got to experience how each sense helps us understand the world around us.
The classroom was filled with excitement, laughter, and curiosity as children explored different textures, sounds, tastes, and smells. This interactive approach developed observation and comparison skills, understood the role of sensory input in daily life, improved vocabulary through describing sensory experiences.
Encouraged teamwork, curiosity, and active participation
Beyond sensory exploration, this activity also provided valuable exposure to performing in front of others. Students were encouraged to share their observations, describe their experiences aloud, and present what they learned to their peers. This gentle introduction to public speaking helped build confidence, stage presence, and the ability to express themselves clearly in front of an audience.
It was a delight to see our young learners so involved and enthusiastic. Activities like these truly make learning come alive!

Learning becomes exciting when children explore with their own hands! Our Nursery students recently participated in a Shape Mapping Activity, where they were given worksheets along with cutouts of different shapes. The little ones had to carefully identify each shape and match it to the correct cutout, finally pasting it on their sheets.

Through this engaging activity, children not only learned to recognize and differentiate shapes but also strengthened their fine motor skills, concentration, and logical thinking. Holding, matching, and pasting gave them a sense of independence and joy, while turning a simple lesson into an experience they will remember.

At this young age, such playful activities build the foundation of observation, problem-solving, and creativity—all while keeping learning fun and joyful.

At our Montessori, learning goes beyond books—we focus on life skills too! Our KG1 children recently took part in a fun brushing activity, where each child brought their own toothbrush and learned the correct way to brush. Teachers guided them on how to brush, rinse, and spit, ensuring healthy teeth and good hygiene.

The children also asked questions like “What are germs?” and “What is cavity?” which made the activity interactive and meaningful. Through such hands-on experiences, our little ones develop habits that keep them healthy for life.

Grade – 1 (All Sections)

To make learning fun and engaging, students of grade 1, recently presented a role play. They were introduced to the fascinating world of wild animals, where lion roars, elephant stomps, bear growls and rabbit hops.
It was wonderful to see how excited the kids were as they played the role of different animals. The activity helped all the students of grade 1 to understand about wild animals, their habitat and how they survive using their instincts.
Through this activity students learnt about difference between wild and domestic animals, explored how these animals live, what they eat and why it is important to protect both the animals and their natural habitats The activity not only helped them understand wild animals, their habitats, and survival instincts but also served as a valuable experience in creating stage presence and performing in front of an audience.

The children gained confidence as they portrayed different animals, learning how to project their voices and express the unique behaviors of each creature. It was inspiring to see how comfortable they became in front of their peers, gaining exposure to performing in a supportive environment. The stage became a space where they could explore their creativity and develop important public speaking skills in a fun and relaxed setting.
The activity aimed at sparking curiosity and respect for wildlife, guiding students on an engaging journey into animal kingdom.

Our KG2 children recently went on an exciting learning adventure with the theme “Modes of Transport.” With the help of creative props and creative charts they enthusiastically matched different vehicles to their correct mode of transport – land, water, or air.

The best part? The children didn’t just match them; they explained why! We heard curious voices saying, “Not all vehicles go everywhere… some fly in the sky, some float on water, and some run only on roads.” Their excitement filled the room as they proudly identified which transport belongs where.

Through this hands-on activity, our little learners discovered that each vehicle has a unique purpose, and not all are suitable for every surface. They learned the value of observation, reasoning, and classification – all while having fun!

For our KG2 students, it wasn’t just about vehicles; it was about thinking, questioning, and exploring the world around them.

To connect a craft activity with literature and make the story more meaningful, Grade 5 students created “footprints” on paper using their painted palms—symbolizing the crucial moment in Robinson Crusoe when he discovers a footprint on the sand. This instantly made the story come alive for them. During the activity, students expressed how surprised and anxious Crusoe must have felt on seeing that footprint, and some even imagined the mix of curiosity and fear he experienced. Many shared that stepping into Crusoe’s shoes through this creative exercise helped them better understand his emotions. The activity not only deepened their connection to the story but also encouraged them to think critically and empathetically about the character’s experience.

At our Montessori, learning is always hands-on and joyful!
Our nursery students recently participated in an engaging color pattern activity. The children were given a sequence of colours to follow, and their task was to pick the right colour balls and place them in the same order as the pattern described.

Through this playful exercise, our little learners:

Concentrated on observing and following instructions carefully.

Identified and matched colours with confidence.

Thought logically while arranging the balls step by step.

Developed a sense of order and sequencing.

Today, our young scientists enjoyed a fun activity on soluble and insoluble substances. The teacher demonstrated how some materials like sugar and salt easily dissolve in water, while others like sand and chalk powder do not. Students observed the changes, discussed their findings, and eagerly shared examples from daily life.

The simple hands-on experiment not only made the concept clear but also sparked curiosity about how different substances behave in water. It was a joyful blend of learning and discovery, making science both exciting and easy to understand!
