Houses in different regions — EVS worksheet

People build homes to suit where they live: houseboats float on Dal Lake in Kashmir, stilt houses stand above floodwater, thick mud walls keep homes cool in hot places, tents are easy to carry, and igloos are built from snow blocks in icy lands. Kutcha houses use mud, straw and bamboo; pucca houses use bricks and cement.

Remember

The place shapes the home — “think of the weather and the land, then the house that suits them”

  1. Houseboat – floats on water; stilt house – stands on tall stilts; igloo – built of snow blocks; tent – made of cloth and easy to carry.
  2. Kutcha house: mud, straw, bamboo, dry grass, palm leaves. Pucca house: bricks, cement, concrete, steel, marble.
  3. Sloping roofs let rain and snow slide off; flat roofs suit dry places with little rain.

Use it for: Class 3 EVS lessons on houses and shelter, and learning about different states of India.

Worked example: 🏠 Which home is built of snow blocks? → igloo

  1. Only one home is made of snow.
  2. It is the igloo, built in very cold, icy lands.

Check: Snow keeps the cold wind out — an igloo ✓
