NCERT Solutions for Class 4 Arts Chapter 11: Songs and Stories
"Songs and Stories" links music with storytelling. Many traditional songs tell stories, and stories are often sung, so the chapter probably invites children to sing or chant a story, add actions or sound effects and listen to songs from different regions. It connects with the Panchatantra thread of the book and with the earlier Theatre unit. Children build memory, expression and an appreciation of India's oral traditions. Asking elders for songs and tales from their own communities makes the lesson local and personal. This is chapter 11 of 18 in Bansuri, the Class 4 Arts textbook, in the Music section, and begins on page 108 of the printed 2026-27 book. It follows "Making Music" and is followed by "Think, Feel, Create". The activities in "Songs and Stories" are suggestions that teachers can select, adapt and extend. Children may work alone or in groups, and the book reminds teachers that diversity of expression is the beauty of childhood. Assessment tools in the book track growth in competence and skill over time. Families can help by providing simple materials, displaying the child's work and encouraging practice at home without criticism. Provide simple materials at home, such as paper, crayons, clay, leaves or household objects, and let your child explore without worrying about the result. Display their work and ask them to talk about what they made or performed in "Songs and Stories". Avoid comparing it with others' work. 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.
