In India, schools across the country enthusiastically celebrate Children’s Day on November 14 in honour of our first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday.

Besides performances, games and sports activities are also organized to give children a break from academic routines and promote physical fitness. Some schools create a carnival-like atmosphere with games, stalls and other recreational activities where children can win prizes and indulge in treats. This lively environment encourages a spirit of play, team building and enjoyment among students, embodying Nehru’s belief that childhood should be filled with happiness and exploration.

Teachers also come up with innovative ways to surprise students with entertaining acts or hosting quizzes and interactive sessions to make learning enjoyable. In some schools, they switch roles to give students a fresh experience.

In addition to games and performances, schools utilise Children’s Day to educate students on child rights, health and well-being, aiming to inspire a sense of responsibility and awareness. Discussions may include topics like good health practices, personal safety and environmental stewardship, underscoring that celebrating children also means caring for their future.
