Kinds of Homes

Kinds of Homes

To let children know of the homes we live in.

This theme is to create a skill of their own life to the lives of living in their own homes. Children will eventually learn of the activities they perform in each room, the photographs of their homes and the names of each room. Discuss the chores of each room. For example,  the cleaning of rooms and the cooking of food being done in the kitchen. What is the dining-room for and what do we do in the bathroom? Explain to the children the different kinds of homes that are built around us. Talk about the homes in different homelands like the cabins which are made of timber and the thatch-roof ed house which has lots of dry grass on the roof which some people like to live in.  the Eskimo’s live in igloo’s, homes that are made of ice.  Houses are made of bricks, blocks, stone or even sticks when one cannot afford to build expensively.  Children can describe how big or small  their rooms are. How many rooms do they have? What kind of a roof do they have?  What is the shape of the windows? Is their neighbourhood safe? Do they enjoy living in their neighbourhood?  Is their home comfortable or spacious enough? do they have a fireplace in their home? Is water and electricity available in their home? Is water close to their home?  Some people that live on farms have to go a long way to fetch water. People that live on farms have difficulty with the water, electricity and toilets. These problems are seldom experienced with those living in residential areas or cities.
