The use of role-playing in teaching –learning can help students relate a situation to their own lives. Students learn best when they can connect learning to real life situations.
The students of Std. VI organized “Mock Market” in the school lawn on 26 December, 2015. The children happily slipped into the roles of salesmen, hawkers, shopkeepers and vegetable vendors.
Initiated by Atul House the children first of all decorated their shops with sign boards. Price list of the items were also displayed. Accompanied by class teachers (Mrs. Ranjit Kaur Mr. Vattan Preet Singh, Mrs. Savita), the children set to the scene with rustic ambience.
Mr. Ashok Singh Guleria (Head Coordinator/Activity In charge) interacted with the children and spoke on the basic market terms such as market and their types, Bargaining, Minimum Retail Price (MRP), Warranty and Guarantee differences, cash memo etc.
A hustling bustling scene made the school campus look like a real market. The programme was aimed to familiarize the children with the daily shopping needs, market awareness regarding types of markets, bargaining, customer rights, minimum retail price, quality of the product, expiry date etc. Besides it gave children the opportunity to learn social interaction skills, ability to influence others.
Mrs. Simran Kaur Thind, The Principal, later appreciated the House Master and teachers for their contribution, she interacted with the children and asked them to apply and use their learning while shopping in the real markets.
Ms. Anshul Bhardwaj (Atul House Master), Mrs. Kanchan Mishra, Mrs. Kanak Tripathi SST HOD, Mr. VijayPal Singh, HOD Science, Mr. Phillip Xavier, Media Coordinator too contributed to make this activity a new learning among children.
