Hi all, Based on feedback of our old users of this site, we have compiled list of questions, can be asked during interview .. sometimes, schools doesn’t ask any question .. they ask only name from child and observe his/her behavior during interaction with parents …etc
Interview Questions can be asked from child during interaction :
1. Rhymes : Its not necessary that child must be knowing number of poems but if he/she is able to recite 2-3 rhymes with proper lyrics and if child can recite it with actions it would be great. It also shows the confidence level of child.
2. Placing an object : To check observation part in children, an interesting object like a fruit, a toy or a clay, cotton etc can be placed on table and allow the child to touch it. As he/she explores the different textures, the manner of his observation is noticed.
3. Group playing : How easily he/she makes friends : Few schools just leave alone (without parents) group of kids to in play room for 3-5 mins to observe how comfortably they make friends, or help others or enjoy with others etc.
4. Understanding of directions : Sometimes children are asked to pick toy etc by giving directions e.g. please pick that toy placed on left side or keep this ball on right table etc.
5. Puzzle solving : Sometimes 2-3 piece puzzle can be given to fix ..e.g. small puzzle of animals, cartoon etc
6. Animal knowledge and counting : They can ask what is in this aquarium ? (if aquarium is in room) or how many fishes are in aquarium.?
7. Body Parts : Sometimes names of different body parts can be asked like how many eyes you have, how many fingers you have or you have 2 nose or 1 ?
8. Colors : Kids of this age are very smart and intelligent and their learning ability is very good. Recognition of colors and color names helps in improving child visual sense. Make sure that child should be able to answer questions like
a) What is color of your dress ?
b) What is your favourite color ?
c) Have you ever seen blue apple ?
d) They can ask to color the scenery to check whether child knows that tree color is green and sky color is blue etc.. ( on tougher side) and can ask to color any fruit or vegetable ( easier side)
9. Shapes : Children at this age can distinguish between different shapes. Like circle and square. So
Questions based on shapes can be asked like 1) Moon is round or square ? 2) window is round or square etc 3) Your car wheel is of which shape ?
Dear Users of SchoolAdmissionIndia portal, please do not panic if there are a few activities your kid does not do or cannot do at this stage because each child has different timeline and growth milestones and it can vary .Even if child is able to perform 2-3 out of these 9 activities then he/she is considered as average and normal child with good motor skills . School will be asking several questions and if your child does not perform even half of them, it does not matter.Teachers who are interacting with children during admission process are very qualified and very experienced.
They know by one or two answers about the major disabilities in a child.
Again these questions and the answers are shared on parents request who wants to know what kind of questions have been asked during interview. It does not matter if your child does not know all body parts or all colours and shapes! No need to panic. … Wish you good luck ..
We will also share questions asked from parents during interview.
Thanks,
Anjali
