Every year Republic Day is celebrated as Sports day in my Child's preschool. The preparation starts 2 week in advance and children are quite excited to be a part of this important day of their school. It happens to be a first presentation of their life. The children are briefed about the importance of Republic day. How India became independent and how in 1950 the Indian constitution came into existence. Though this information is hardly understood by them but atleast children beacome aware of their country's national festival and it marks a deep rooted impact on their lives.
The sequence of events were as followed : The day started with Flag hoisting by the principal madam. The little athletes bowed to their nation by singing the National Anthem. The students were high spirited dressed in their white kurtas with blue trousers and a tricolour duppatta rapped around their waist. The school back drop was well decorated in tricolour theme. There was an air of patriotism, all patriotic songs were played in background music.
The first event of the day was a dance on famous bollywood song "Suno gor se duniya walon, buri nazar na humpe dallo" from the movie Dus. The dance was well choreographed with children dancing on the beats using pompom. The chidren kept their energy and enthusiasm high while dancing.
The next event was PT. The children moved their limb in full coherence , matching each their movement to the beats of the drum. It was a pleaseant sight to watch these little wonders present such well coordinated PT.
Then started the main events of the day that was the games session everyone was waiting for. Here is a brief summary of what and how the games were played.
Stack and Win
The children were given set of 6 thermocol glasses and they have to run and unstack the Glasses and arrange them on the table. Again stack the glasses and run back to the partner and now his partner will do the same steps. This way the team which finishes first will be the winner.
Hop n Pop
In this game the children have to carry a ball between their legs and hop there way up to a tumbler. Once they reach near the tumbler they have to drop the ball in it. If the ball falls outside the tumbler the person gets disqualified.
Potato on Paper
This game required coordination between two partners. It was played by students of playgroup. In this game the children formed groups of two and carried a potato on a paper. If the potato falls while running the contender is dismissed. The one who reaches the finish line with the potato intact on the paper is the winner.
Make a Way
This was quite a tough one for the children. It involved balancing as well as focus. Children have to carry a paper plate on their head and make their way to the finish line taking a zigzag route from between the obstacles. The obstacles used here were chairs and the students have to cross one chair from left and the next chair from right , repeating this step until they reach the last chair and then sit over the last chair.
Ring in stick
8 rings were inserted in a Popsicle stick and the children have to hold the stick in their mouth and run and reach the destination before the rings fall on to the ground.
Sand in Hand
This one was for the toddlers. They have to carry sand in their hand from start point to finish line where plastic glasses were kept. The toddlers have to fill these glass with sand and then again run back to bring more sand. The one whose glass gets filled first was the winner.
Overall the school had a wonderful Republic Day and Sports Day celebration. At the end of the programme the winners were felicitated by the principal mam and were given splendid prizes.
