EVS Class 3 NCERT Solutions, Chapter-7: Saying without Speaking
Next Chapter >> CBSE Class 3 EVS Chapter 7 sensitises kids that not everyone around them is the same. Some have speech and hearing impairments, while some are visually challenged. The chapter introduces this sensitive concept through the game of Dumb Charades, where the players have to silently act out certain situations, i.e., they have to talk through actions. Children need to understand that communicating with differently-abled persons is important because they too can express their emotions by signs and actions. Different emotions experienced by us like sadness, joy, anger, and fear are also mentioned in Class 3 EVS Chapter 7, along with the fact that dance is also a form of expressing our feelings. The NCERT textbook (Looking Around) questions are answered in a simple and engaging manner. We also have related ‘Learning Concepts’, and interactive worksheets with solutions. Our ‘Learning Beyond’ segment caters to all the probable questions that the child might think out of curiosity. Download Chapter 7 Saying Without Speaking in the PDF format for free.

There was a joyful Squirrel who lived on a big tree. Whenever she was happy, she liked to dance on the tree trunk. One day she collected some rice, some nuts and some dal and thought to make nice yummy lunch for her friends around the tree. So, she started cooking in a kadhai. After some time, the nice smell of hot food started coming out of the kadhai. The Squirrel became very happy and started dancing and singing. The Squirrel’s friends, Ms. Myna, Mr. Crow, Mr. and Mrs. Rat their family, and the Honeybees also joined the feast. So, it was a very delicious lunch party the Squirrel gave to her friends.

Observe children of about six to eight months in your area. How do they express themselves?
The children of about six to eight months express themselves by their face, hands and feet. As they do not know how to speak, they make funny noises through their mouth. They move their hands and feet to convey something. Sometimes they try to mimic their family members who are very close to them, for example, their mother.
You must be wondering what kind of faces these are – they have no eyes, no nose, no mouth. You have to make these, but only after reading what is written alongside.
