**Title: Exploring the Seasons**

**Objective:**
To introduce Grade 1 students to the concept of seasons and help them understand the changes that occur
in nature during each season.

**Materials Needed:**
- Large poster or visual aid depicting the four seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter)
- Pictures or props representing typical characteristics of each season (flowers for spring, sun for summer,
leaves for fall, snow for winter)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Coloring materials (crayons, colored pencils)

**Introduction (5 minutes):**
- Begin by asking the students if they have noticed any changes in the weather or nature around them.
- Discuss with them some of the changes they have observed, such as warmer temperatures, falling
leaves, or snow.
- Explain that these changes are part of what we call "seasons" and that there are four different seasons
throughout the year.

**Main Lesson (15 minutes):**

1. **Spring:**
- Show pictures of flowers blooming and trees budding.
- Explain that spring is when the weather starts to get warmer, flowers begin to bloom, and animals
come out of hibernation.
- Discuss activities such as planting seeds and watching plants grow during spring.

2. **Summer:**
- Show a picture of the sun shining brightly.
- Explain that summer is the hottest season of the year, and it's when we often go swimming, have
picnics, and play outside.
- Discuss activities like going to the beach or having ice cream to cool down during summer.
3. **Fall (Autumn):**
- Show pictures of colorful falling leaves and trees changing color.
- Explain that fall is when the weather starts to cool down, and leaves change color before falling off the
trees.
- Discuss activities such as jumping in piles of leaves or picking apples and pumpkins.

4. **Winter:**
- Show a picture of snow-covered landscapes.
- Explain that winter is the coldest season, and it's when we often see snow and have to bundle up in
warm clothes.
- Discuss activities like building snowmen or drinking hot cocoa by the fireplace during winter.

**Activity (10 minutes):**

- Divide the students into groups and give each group a large sheet of paper.
- Ask them to draw and color a scene representing their favorite season.
- Encourage them to include elements that are specific to that season, such as flowers for spring or
snowflakes for winter.
**Conclusion (5 minutes):**
- Have each group present their drawings to the class and explain why they chose that particular season.
- Recap the main points about each season and encourage students to continue observing the changes in
nature throughout the year.

**Extension:**
- Provide additional resources such as books or videos about seasons for students to explore further.
- Take a nature walk around the school grounds to observe signs of different seasons in action.
