How to Celebrate Children’s Day in a Different Way?
How to Celebrate Children’s Day in a Different Way? – Children’s day in India is celebrated on the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru every year, i.e. on 14th of November. Since the first prime minister loved and adored kids way too much, this day is dedicated to all the kids in his loving memory.
So, the Indians basically remember his birthday as children’s day and hence the day is widely celebrated. Quite sure that your kids might be having lots of picnics and parties planned for this day, but how about celebrating this day in a different yet a meaningful way.
P.S – We are not saying the kids should not be allowed to enjoy and have fun. It’s just that the kids must also indulge on meaningful activities on this day. Let us see what those activities could be.
How to Celebrate Children’s Day in a Different Way?
#1 Take them to an old age home
The first offbeat and and a different activity to try with your kids on the Children’s day has to be a trip to an old age home. Even if or not your kids are staying with their grand parents, they need to see the other side of the old age. They need to understand the value of people in their lives and also they need to be more attached to their extended families. Visiting this could be an eye opener for them and will help them more of an empath. Let them spend some time with the oldies there and share happiness.
#2 Take them for a trip to orphanage
If not an old age home, the very next best option for them has to be a trip to an orphanage. Orphanage is filled with underprivileged kids going through various life crisis. The idea is to let them be friends with all kinds of people, to let your kids realise how privileged they are, to let them learn about gratitude, and also to let those kids celebrate a fantastic children’s day too because they deserve it as much.
#3 Feed the street dogs and other animals
Another emphatic activity to try this day with your kids can be feeding of the street dogs and other animals. Not only people but kids need to be friends with the animals and also know their worth in life. This could also install a habit in them to always feed and take care of the street animals rather than just thrashing them away. Animal love is something that needs to be taught to the kids from an early age.
#4 Gifting to the house help kid’s
Well, it’s the national children’s day and we said that all kids should be allowed to celebrate this day. But, there are a lot of kids in the world who are underprivileged and don’t even know the meaning of this day let alone them celebrating it out loud. One of those kids are your house help’s kids. Make sure your kid does something with those kids, gift them something, have a day out with them, call them in your homes and have chill day, etc. Everyone deserves happiness and if you can share with the world, you must.
#5 Special Thank you letters to the teachers
Children’s day in India is mostly celebrated in the schools through some parties or the picnics. This is good and makes the kids create some amazing memories for the lifetime. But, here in this system, we all are lacking something. It is to thank the teachers and all the gurus on this day. It’s the teachers who guide the kids, shape their personalities, and help them become more independent in life. Hence, a customised thank you note to the teachers in the school children’s day party would be great.
#6 A full extended family house party
Having a party on this day is an amazing idea. The idea is to let your child enjoy this to the fullest and also create memories that they will always fall back on and cherish. So, throw a cute party for them that includes their favourite food, friends, drinks, games, dresses, etc. But, make it more meaningful by involving the whole extended family into this. Hardly people do get time to be involved with their extended families on this day which keeps the kids always at a distance from them. So, steal the deal and lock it.
#7 The art of decluttering and minimalism
No, we are not telling you to take your kids on a spree of home cleaning. Instead, there is a hidden meaning to it. Make it an annual ritual to sit on this day, make a list of the things that your kid no longer needs, accumulate them, and distribute it amongst the poor kids. This way, the poor kids gets something new and gets a chance to enjoy this day as well. Your kid becomes more empath and knows how to spread happiness. And, also your kid slowly turns into being a minimal which helps them in the long run. It could be a fun filled activity if planned nicely.
#8 Cut that cake for HIS birthday
By ‘HIS’ birthday, here we mean, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday. Tell your kids about him and how much he has done for the country and also for the kids. Instead of cutting a random cake, cut a cake for his birthday and give a birthday twist to this day.
Conclusion
Weren’t these some most amazing and heart warming ways to celebrate the Children’s day? We surely can say these are. Let your kids have parties and picnics in the day time and fix these things up in the other half of the day. This way not only will they have an enjoyable day but also a meaningful one where they learn a lot of emphathetic things about life.
This could be a great way to celebrate the Children’s day by imposing some learning on to your kids and helping them be great humans in their lives. Choose the activity that you like the most from above and go ahead.
