Teaching Objective: To learn about vegetable – Brinjal with the help of a puppet theatre story

Teaching Aid: Real Brinjal Vegetables of different colors and sizes. Remove the thorns if any. Stick puppet of vegetables – Brinjal, Tomato, Onion, Chilly, Carrot, Pumpkin, caterpillar, and a handmade theater box, real vegetable of Brinjal in different colour and size. Along with this I have created a theatre box which will be used for puppet story telling.

Method: Greet the class. Do warm up activity. Cover the Brinjals and the theatre box with a cloth to reveal them later.Ask if the kids like to eat vegetables. What is their favorite vegetable? Why don't they like to eat vegetables. Talk to them about importance of eating vegetables. Discuss the benefits of eating different varieties of vegetables. Eating vegetable is very important for our body. It makes us healthy and strong. Generate curiosity and ask if they know any names of vegetables. And then let them guess what is under the cloth. 

After some time tell them what is under this cloth. Ohhh!! We have a vegetable. Have you seen this vegetable before? What is the name of this vegetable? This is Brinjal. Show them the Brinjals in different sizes and colors. 

You can then discuss the below points in the classroom. Also while you discuss, you can pass the vegetable in the classroom so that the children can see it. 

• Today we are going to learn about Brinjal. They are also called as Egg plants. Their shape is oval like an egg, hence they are called egg plants. The vegetable has little thorn on its head. So be careful while you pick Brinjals from plants or from the market.
• Show all the Brinjal one by one to the class room. The Brinjal has many varieties in shape, size and colors. Some are green and white. But most common are the violet Brinjal. They are long and round and sometimes big too.
• Do you know Brinjal is very good for health. It is rich source of calcium, potassium and other minerals. It helps in digestion.
• You can't eat this vegetable raw. You need to cook it properly. When cooked, it is very tasty in the form of curry and even dry roasted. Please ask your mom to make Brinjal curry for you. Let me know if you like the taste.
• Some may love to eat and some may dislike Brinjal. But I love to eat Brinjal.
