Needs and wants

Social Studies

• The child learned the difference between needs and wants.
• They identified examples of needs such as food, water, and shelter.
• They recognized examples of wants such as toys, games, and sweets.
• The child understood that needs are essential for survival, while wants are things we desire but can live without.

For continued development related to the activity, encourage the child to explore their own needs and wants. They can create a collage or drawing of things they need and things they want. They can also engage in discussions with family members or friends about their own needs and wants, fostering their understanding of these concepts in a real-life context.
