Family and Friends in Primary EVS — Relationships, Work and Play for REET Level 1
Family and Friends in primary EVS begins from the child's lived home, relationships, work, and play. REET candidates should know nuclear and joint families clearly, use family-tree kinship vocabulary, respect diverse real homes, and teach household work as shared responsibility rather than a gendered duty. Friendship, peer cooperation, and Rajasthan's local games are handled through drawings, observation, role play, and inclusive classroom discussion.
Key points
- REET Level 1 EVS explicitly covers family and personal relationships with nuclear and joint families; avoid presenting single-parent and blended families as an official four-type REET taxonomy unless separately sourced.
- Family tree activities build kinship vocabulary like nani, nana, dadi, dada, mama, mausi, bhai, bahin and show variation across rural and urban Rajasthani households.
- Household work should be taught as a shared responsibility without assigning work to a particular gender, class or caste.
- Friendship in primary EVS can include classmates, neighbours and cousins; keep the focus on inclusion and respectful peer relationships without overstating a legal rule.
- Play in Rajasthan covers outdoor games like pittu, gilli-danda, kho-kho and indoor games like saanp-seedhi and antakshari, mapping cultural memory and friendship networks together.
