Teaching Kindness to Animals in Class I
Life Skills & Value Education – CLASS-I – UNIT- 5 Be Kind to Animals
Animals are also living beings like us. They can’t speak like us but still can feel the love and emotions. Some animals like dog and horse are very faithful to human beings. We should be kind towards them. It is good to offer our leftover food to the street dogs because they guard our homes. Chapattis should be offered to homeless cows. In summer we should keep bowls of water for the birds. Injured animals like pigeons, cats and dogs should be taken to veterinary doctors by us
Be kind to animals
Animals are God’s beautiful creation. We should take care of them. They will also be good to us
Just Imagine
You are going home. Suddenly you see a dog. You start running. You fell down and get hurt. A man sees you and picks you up. He takes you to the doctor. He is being kind to you. When we help someone we are being kind to them.
Do you take care of animals? Let’s read a story to know why we should be kind to animals.
Angela and the Little Puppy
Tommy, the little puppy, had no home. He used to move on road here and there. Children used to throw stones at him. No one ever thought about the poor animal. In all the seasons, summer, winter and rainy, poor Tommy hid himself under the corners of old houses.
Sometimes he had nothing to eat. No meat, no bread, nothing. This made him grumble. He never had fun or play. When children came back from school, he ran away. He was afraid and lean now. Life was becoming bad for him. All the time he kept barking. No one took pity on him.
One day pretty Angela was going home. She saw Tommy crying in pain. She lifted Tommy and saw him hurt. Someone had hit him. He was bleeding. She brought him home. She asked her mother to wash his wound. She gave him some food and milk. She wrapped him in a blanket and took care of him
No longer Tommy was scared. Tommy and Angela became good friends. Angela used to play with him. Now he always smiled and wagged his tail with joy.
A little kindness can change things
What happiness and joy it brings
When someone is sad and blue
do something kind to help them through.
We should be kind to all our friends, animals and birds and all creatures on the earth. Animals cannot speak, but they can feel like us. They too feel pain, when hurt. They also need love and care. They help us in many ways. So we should be kind to animals.
‘Kindness is the language which even animals understand.’
