Chapter 4 of Santoor opens Unit 2, Toys and Games. Out in the Garden is a happy little poem of six short
stanzas. A child plays in the garden on every fine day — first with a ball, then with a kite, and then with
friends. The book does not give the poetʼs name. This page also covers the unitʼs Picture reading spread on
pages 3638, which comes just before the chapter and shows a village full of children at play.

Summary
A child likes to play in the garden every fine day.
First, the child bounces, throws and catches a ball.
Next, the child tugs, pulls and flies a kite.
Then the child plays happily in the garden with friends.
Together they run, skip, jump, sway, slide and swing.
The poem tells us that playing outside is great fun.

साराशं (िहन्दी मे)ं
एक बच्चा हर अच्छे िदन बगीचे मे ं खेलना पसंद करता है।
पहले वह गेदं को उछालता, फेंकता और पकड़ ता है।
िफर वह पतंग को झटके से खी ंचता है और उसे उड़ ाता है।
अंत मे ं वह दोस्तों के साथ दौड़ ता, कूदता, झूमता, िफसलता और झूला झूलता है।

Read the poem aloud two times. Clap at the end of each line.
The child plays in the garden on every fine day — first with a ball, then with a kite, and then
with friends.
Rhyming words: day, play, sway.

− Exp anat onl i

The childʼs three playmates, one after the other:
 The ball — bounce it, throw it, catch it.
 The kite — tug it, pull it, fly it.
 Friends — run and skip, jump and sway, slide and swing.

Why the same lines come again Out in the garden Each fine day is said

three times. It tells us that the child plays outside every fine day.

New words (page 40 bounce to hit the ground and come up again. throw
—

— to send something through the air with your hand. slide — to move smoothly

down something. sway — to move slowly from side to side.

We must look out for them.

Four rules to remember: Look where you run. Never play on the road. Keep
water near you and drink it. If a friend falls down, help him or her up and tell a
grown-up at once.

Your own name for a game may be different. That is not wrong.
Write the English name and your own name side by side, like this — hopscotch (stapu).
Then everyone learns two words at once.

This is a making task. Do it with your own hands.
After step 2, the flat base lies on the front of the bag like a small flap. After step 3, the flap
is on top and the handle hangs down. In step 6, you can stick woollen threads on the head
for hair.

Why the mouth must be on the flap line The flap is the only part of the bag
:

that can open and shut. If you draw the mouth there, the mouth opens every
time you move your fingers.

Tip: Let the colours dry before you put your hand in, or they will come off on
your fingers. Use gum, not a hot glue gun.
