Indirect experiences are as necessary as the directions. These are the ready means to check, to verify and to complete the knowledge otherwise gained all types of knowledge, whether of science or history or of geography etc. Cannot be obtained through direct experience only all knowledge cannot be made concrete even with the help of modern inventions and sensory aids to teaching.

The teacher has to explain, narrate and describe and has to share some of his experiences with those of children and thus thereby giving the students indirect experiences. Such indirect experiences may be given through oral narration, description or by referring to printed material which the pupils can read.
