EVS Worksheets for Class 1: Chapter-wise Questions with Answers

If you have searched for class 1 evs worksheets and felt confused about what your child is actually meant to learn, you are not alone. Some schools have a thick EVS book in Class 1, some call it Science or General Awareness, and some seem to have no EVS book at all. The topics, though, are remarkably similar everywhere: my body, food, plants, animals, family, water, transport and safety.

This page explains why EVS looks different from school to school, then gives you free chapter-wise questions with answers for eight common Class 1 EVS topics. Each chapter has fill in the blanks, a match the following and true or false questions, so you can use it for daily revision, Term 2 exam practice or a quick check at the end of a chapter.

Is there EVS in Class 1? A quick explanation

In the NCERT books that many CBSE schools follow, Classes 1 and 2 have no separate EVS or science textbook. EVS ideas such as family, food, animals and the world around us are woven into the language and maths books, and a separate EVS book usually starts from Class 3. Many CBSE, ICSE and state board schools still choose to teach EVS in Class 1 using their own EVS, science or GK book, which is why grade 1 EVS worksheets in CBSE schools can look so different from one school to another.

The good news is that the topics hardly change. The table below shows what most Class 1 EVS books cover. Pick the chapters that match your child’s book and term.
