NCERT Solutions for Class 1 Urdu Chapter 13: شیر اور مچھر
"Sher Aur Machchhar" (the lion and the mosquito) is a folk tale. Folk tales pass from generation to generation, and children enjoy the idea of a tiny creature facing a mighty one. They follow the events, think about why the small mosquito could trouble the lion and discuss the moral. The chapter supports listening, retelling, sequencing and role-play, with different voices for each character. It also introduces a longer, connected text than earlier lessons. Children can draw the two characters and say what they learnt from the tale. This is chapter 13 of 18 in Shahnai, the Class 1 Urdu textbook, and begins on page 85 of the printed 2026-27 book. It follows "جاڑا آیا" and is followed by "آم". Its form in the contents is: folk tale. Transliterated title: Sher aur Machchhar. In "شیر اور مچھر", the aims are fluent reading, clear pronunciation and understanding. Children can be asked to read a few lines aloud, explain what they understood, find new words and use them in a sentence of their own. The book links Urdu with art, environment, science and social science, so discussion can move beyond the text to the child's surroundings. Oral answers come before written ones, and children should not be hurried or discouraged by errors in spelling or script. Make reading "شیر اور مچھر" a shared moment. Take turns reading lines, discuss unfamiliar words and look for them in newspapers or signs. Short, daily practice, with praise for effort, helps the script and the language settle. This overview is written from the 2026-27 textbook's Contents page, its preface and the chapter title, to help families and teachers prepare. Please read the chapter itself for exact content, activities and exercises.
