INTRODUCTION
THE FOLLOWNG GEET IS AN EXPERIMENTAL TOOL IN CREATIVE METHOD OF EDUCATION BY SINGING WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP THE CHILD DEVELOPS INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT AND WISHES TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT. AT THE END OF EACH VERSE IS THE QUESTION WHICH IS ANSWERED BY THE CHILD NOT INDIVIDUALLY BUT WITH THE GROUP AND IS THE INTEGRATED PART OF THE SONG IT SELF. FIRST IT STARTS AS FUN FOR THE CHILD. THE LEARNING PROCESS TRIGGERS CURIOSITY IN THE CHILD'S MIND. THIS PROMPTS HIM TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS, WHEN ? WHERE ? HOW ?AND WHY? THE TEACHER CAN THEN USE THE SITUATION IN TEACHING THE SUBJECT IN MORE DEPTH. THIS CAN BE DONE IN ENGLISH. THE REASON OF HAVING THE GEET PRIMARLY IN URDU IS TO INVOLVE NOT ONLY THE CHILD BUT ALSO THE PARENT. SO THEY CAN; NOT ONLY BE ABLE TO SATISFY CHILD'S CURIOSITY BY PROVIDING ANSWERS, BUT ALSO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT THEMSELVES. THE SUBJECT CHOSEN HERE IS COMPARATIVE RELIGION. THIS IS DONE BY TRACING THE MAIN EVENTS OF THE HISTORY EACH VERSE ONLY TOUCHES A PERIOD OF TIME. IT IS UP TO THE EDUCATING TEACHER OR PARENT TO ELABORATE AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE ON THE PARTICULAR TIME PERIOD. THE FIRST TWO VERSES DEALS WITH OUR DAILY PRACTICE OF ATTENDING JAMAT KHANA. THE SECOND TWO VERSES REEFER TO THE IMAM OF THE TIME. SIXTH VERSE IS ABOUT THE CREATION. THE REST CONTINUES TO TOUCH SEVERAL MAIN EVENTS OF TIME UP TO THE PRESENT. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FIRST FOUR VERSES BE USED FOR PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY LEVELS AND THE REST BE USED TO TEACH IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHILD'S AGE AND ABILITY TO LEARN.
