Introduce the lesson and connect with the title. Remind students that today's lesson will teach them about tools and the jobs people do using these tools.

What are Tools?

Explain the concept of a tool in simple terms. Ask questions to engage the students: 'What do you think a tool is?' Use simple language and visuals.

Examples of Tools

Present well-known tools. Use bright images or illustrations. Mention examples like a hammer, a paintbrush, and a shovel. Ask students if they have seen these before.

Tools at Work

Discuss how tools are connected to jobs. Provide simple examples: A hammer is used by a carpenter, a stethoscope is used by a doctor (can substitute with simpler concept if needed). Encourage students to ask if they know what other tools are used for.

Wrap-Up & Share

Review the lesson briefly. Invite students to share their thoughts and favorite tool. Reinforce the learning point that tools help us every day and every job is important.
