Are you looking for something different to express gratitude to your teachers? Try out these heartfelt ideas to do so.
In India, Teacher's Day is celebrated each year on September 5, and it is a day to honour and express love to teachers and their contributions in the welfare of their students. The day also is the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a respected scholar and the second President of India. In the year 1962, he suggested that his birthday should be dedicated to the teachers, and since then, schools and colleges across India mark this day with full fervour.
In much simpler times and decades that have passed, Teacher's Day celebration meant offering a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten card to the teachers. But now, the celebrations are nothing but traditional. In the world of gadgets and AI, there are multiple ways to honour teachers on their special day, and respect them for shaping your future.
So, check out these 7 surprising ways to amp up your Teacher's Day celebration in 2024:
In the digital age, you can always kick off a social media campaign where students, alumni, and parents can share anecdotes of their favourite moments with teachers. You can collect these posts in a digital collage, and showcase it to the teachers.
Students can get together to come up with a song dedicated to teachers and play it during it together. They can also try making an appreciation video, where current and ex-students express their respect for their teachers. One can record a message or share a story, and then it can be compiled into a heartfelt video.
It is always fun to decorate the classroom with coloured photos and special moments shared that teachers and students have shared over a period of time.
With permission from school authorities, students can order food for teachers or even organise a potluck. They can also organise a special day for teachers to relax, and it can include fun activities planned by the school or parents. It is always great for them to have a well-deserved break.
What’s better than hosting a cultural event where teachers turn into an audience, and it can include dances, skits, musical acts, and much more.
Last but not the least, students and parents can collaborate for a fun classroom renovation project, and try to add educational resources and tools. It’s a way to give back to the teachers and honour them in the most heartwarming way.
