Teachers day Celebrations!
In our School days, we used to celebrate Teachers day by giving lovely Happy Teachers day cards and arrange party for the teachers. But you can do more these days.
Here are some ideas:
- Give handmade teachers day cards. They will surely love it.
- Dance for teachers day celebration
- Do role reversal. Be a teacher to your teacher.
- Prepare a short speech on teachers day [ But don’t be a Chatur from 3 Idiots 😉 ]
- Write a letter penned with heartfelt words
- As a group, take them out for lunch
- Try this. Every student must write one positive thing about every teacher they know and stick it on a chart and these charts must be given on teachers day
This is just to express our gratitude and sincere respect to all those teachers in our life, specifically and including our parents who are the teachers and guides all through our life.

Some times when a guide in your life is missing at some point of time, a friend comes up from the corner and takes that slot for u. Indeed a friend in need. Thanks to them too. I learn a lot of things from my friends. Especially the younger ones these days. They remind me to stay young.
