The Big Laddoo: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🍬 A very silly idea
The poem asks us to imagine a world where all the laddoos join together to make one enormous laddoo. In the same way, all the children become one giant child and all the seas become one huge sea.
💦 The big splash
The giant child picks up the giant laddoo and throws it into the giant sea. The poem ends with the sound of a very big splish-splash.
🎁 Jithu and Meena
Another short story tells of Jithu and his friend Meena, who cannot see properly. On her birthday, Jithu gives her a box of mixed sweets. She touches the sweets, picks up the big laddoo and says that she loves laddoos. Jithu is surprised, and children think of how Meena knew.
🐓 Pairs and floating
The chapter also shows animal pairs such as cock and hen, and lion and lioness. In a small activity, children put things in a tub of water to see which ones float and which ones sink.
🌾 A harvest festival
A reading piece describes Sankranti, the harvest festival. People thank the Sun God, fly kites and cook khichdi. Khichdi has many names across India, such as Pongal, Kichuri and Bisi bele bhat.
✍ Words to learn
