What is a Teacher’s Resource Book? It is a teacher’s bank of suitable and relevant items that can facilitate the teaching-learning process.

Rationale
This Teacher’s Resource Book (TRB) provides you with a variety of items such as songs, rhymes, games, stories, tongue twisters, lullabies, situational games, riddles, proverbs and poems, which are designed to make the lessons more interesting and participatory. These items are just a sample to help you create similar ones depending on your environment and situation. This will make the teaching/learning process more meaningful.

Objectives
1. To revitalise the use of songs, rhymes, games, tongue twisters, stories, situational games, proverbs, poems, and riddles.
2. To promote and preserve Uganda’s cultural differences.
3. To help you enrich your method of teaching so as to make the teaching/learning process more interesting and meaningful.

How to use the Teacher’s Resource Book

You expected to:
i) use the items during the days where they appear.
