NCERT Solutions for Class 4 The World Around Us Chapter 6 Happy and Healthy Living (PDF) – 2027

When my friends come to my house.  ·  When my teacher praises my work.

Match them like this:

The book prints no names, so other sensible matches are also right.

Tick these five: Soil, Air, Water, Farmer and Earthworm. (Soil is already ticked in the book.)

The farmer sows the seeds, waters the field and puts manure in it. He guards the crop, pulls out the weeds, cuts the ripe crop and fills the grain into sacks.

Missing helpers: sunlight, rain, seed, manure, cattle, the shopkeeper, the cook and family members, and farm tools like the sickle.

Write one line against each name. Here is what each of them does.

Thank you — the farmer · the cattle · the earthworms · the sun and the rain · the soil · the driver who carried the grain · the shopkeeper · my mother, who cooks our food.

The tongue feels the surface of the food (smooth or rough, hard or soft) and tells us its taste. It also moves the food around inside the mouth.

The teeth chew the food and break it into small, soft pieces, so that it is easy to swallow.

The food becomes wet, breaks into small pieces and turns soft. Its taste and smell spread in the mouth. Then we swallow it.

Yes, on most days I eat every grain on my plate. If I leave a little, I take less the next time.

Fill one row every day: what you ate, then ‘Yes’ 🙂 or ‘No’ 🙁, and how you felt. Here is a sample:

Say politely: ‘Thank you, this much is enough for me.’

• Take a small helping first.
• Ask for more only if you are still hungry.
• Never take food on the plate just because it looks nice.

I will not throw it away. Before it is served, I will ask for only a little of it, and I will taste it. Our taste changes as we grow.

The children in the park are:

• Throwing and catching a ball.
• Playing football.
• Running on the grass.
• Swinging on a swing.
• Sliding down a slide.
• Playing near the climbing frame.
• Playing badminton on the path.
• Riding a bicycle.
• Reading a book, sitting on the wall.
• Walking on the paths and sitting on the benches.

I walk to school and back every day. In the games period I play kho-kho. In the evening I cycle for half an hour and play badminton with my sister.

My body feels tired, but I feel happy and fresh. I feel very hungry, and I sleep well at night.

1. Gilli-danda
2. Pittu (Lagori or Seven Stones)
3. Poshampa
4. Hopscotch (Stapu or Kith-kith)

The three poses are Vajrasana, Vrikshasana (tree pose) and Sukhasana.

Sample observation: Day 1 — I wobbled on one leg. Day 7 — I could stand still in the tree pose, and I felt calm and fresh.

I would wake up tired and sleepy, and my arms and legs would ache. I could not focus on work or play, and I would feel irritable.

Fill it from your own last three days. Duration of sleep = the hours from sleeping to getting up. For example:

Our body works the whole day and gets tired. Rest and sleep take away the tiredness, make us fresh again and help the body grow strong.

Yes. After a busy day of exercise and play the body is tired. Rest and sleep take the tiredness away and make us fresh. Without rest we feel tired, sleepy and irritable, and cannot focus.

I would say ‘No’, move away, and tell a trusted adult like my teacher or my parents. It is not my fault.

I would tell a trusted adult, like my teacher or my parents.

Sample answer: At home I would tell my mother. In school I would tell my class teacher.

1. If someone touches me in a way that makes me feel scared or uncomfortable.
2. If a stranger asks me to go with him, or offers me sweets or a ride.

Write one line against each name. Here is the completed list.

Put four kinds of food on each plate: a grain, a dal (or milk, curd or egg), a vegetable and a fruit. For example:

Remember: Serve yourself only as much as you can finish.

I enjoyed guessing the peanut with my eyes closed. I also enjoyed chewing it slowly, because the taste became sweeter the longer I chewed.

I can keep my body strong by eating good food on time, playing every day, doing yoga and sleeping enough.

Against each habit write what you will actually do, with a time. A plan with a time is easy to follow.
