(Summer Break Homework 2024)

Grade II – III English Summer Activities
Let’s keep learning through the summer! Below are some fun activities where you’ll get to read
from around the world, watch some videos, play lots of learning games and write your heart out!
Keep an English Activity Journal or simply create a Word or Google doc as one. This can be
submitted in person or posted in your Google Classroom. You may use your Grade II English
notebook as your Summer English Activity Journal.
Soft copies of this document and attached resources can be accessed in your Grade II English
Google Classroom. Happy learning
Listening
They say, if you’re not listening, you’re not learning. So, let’s listen closely while watching the
videos below! Remember to be an active listener; not getting distracted and understanding what is
said.
Speaking
It’s not only what you say, it’s also how you say it. Do the following speaking activities to build your confidence, speak fluently and be a
better communicator.
1. Play the ‘Would you rather’ game with your family and friends using questions of your choice from the ones given in the resource
folder and attached here too. Ask the question ‘Would you rather…’ and then ask why. Have fun while people answer your funny
questions! You can get creative and make up your own questions, hold a mic and pretend to be a TV show host or better still, film
3
one or two interviews! Have Mummy help you upload these videos in your Google Classroom. Else, you could simply write a
short paragraph about the best response.
2. Do you like practising your English pronunciation? Have fun saying some tongue twisters at
https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/tongue-twisters. Saying tongue twisters can be difficult at first, so don't worry if you
can't do it very well to begin with. Just keep practicing! You can also try
playing it with others, I bet you’ll be better than them!
3. Choose a story or a book from the Reading section below. After reading it,
your job is to convince others to read it. Make a one minute speech to your
family, friends, cousins or neighbours – whoever you can convince to read
the book – telling them about why you like the book and why you think they
should also read it. If they do, your persuasion skills are great, if they don’t,
try again! Lastly, write a note in your journal telling your teacher about your
experience.
Remember to speak correct English at all times ☺If you have problems saying a
word, ask an elder to check it for you at https://www.merriam-webster.com/ by
entering the word and clicking the speaker icon to hear the correct pronunciation.
It’s okay to make mistakes, that’s how one learns. ☺
Reading
They say reading gives us some place to go even when we have to stay where we are! So, read away to explore!

2. Write an interesting story based on either set of pictures given in the
Resource Folder. Notice the characters, where they are and what they are
doing. Think of the words and dialogues you will use. Then set to write your
story in three paragraphs. Don’t forget to reread to check for any missing
words and spelling or grammar errors. Also, remember to give your story a
suitable title.
3. Review story writing techniques by watching a quick video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYWziGxR07g . Then, write a three
paragraph story beginning with any one of the following. Before writing the
actual story, plan out the beginning, middle and end. Also jot down the
vocabulary and dialogues you will be making use of.
i. Last Saturday, Tina went to the zoo with her mum. She had been there
earlier but this visit was different - there was something wrong! The
lions hissed and the snakes roared, the monkeys brayed while the
zebras giggled away! …
ii. One stormy night Ali was alone in his bedroom playing with his favourite teddy when he heard someone call him. He didn’t
recognize the voice, but it was a sweet little one…
4. Make an instructional poster on ‘How to Punctuate a Sentence’ or ‘How to Tie your Shoe Laces’. Refer to pg 57 of your Learner’s
Book to take a look at how you made posters in Grade II. Use a chart paper, or a page in your journal or take help from an elder to
7
make one in Print Artist or MS Word. Make your poster attractive by using flow charts, pictures, and headings. Remember to use
command words and punctuate your sentences properly.

https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/english/primary-grammar/grammar-year-2-age-6-7/ and play the games
