A fun, playful story. We only name the story — every example here is our own — and use it to learn how stories work: who the characters are, the order of what happens (beginning, middle, end), and the action words that show what people do. Tap each idea to start.
Play with it
Every story has parts that fit together. Tap each idea to see how.
Learn
Who are the characters? “Riya gave a banana to a little monkey.”
The characters are Riya and the little monkey — they are who the story is about.
Where you'll meet it
When elders tell a tale, notice the characters and what happens first, next and last. It helps you enjoy and remember it.
You can make up a little story about a pet or a friend. Give it a beginning, a middle and an end.
Stories with action words are fun to act. Climb, throw and copy like the monkeys — and learn the words by doing them.
Check yourself
A few quick questions that check the skill — finding characters, the order of events and action words — not just remembering the story.
Skill practice with our own original examples. The story “The Cap-seller and the Monkeys” (NCERT Mridang, Class 1) is referenced by name only, never reproduced.
