Baisakhi celebration in kindergarten

Baisakhi is an Indian festival of harvest mostly celebrated by people of Punjab and North India. The farmers thank the god for giving them abundant harvest and also pray for their prosperity.  It  also marks the beginning of Spring season.

In schools Baisakhi is celebrated to make children  aware of  the hard work put by farmers in growing crops and also bring cultural awareness in them.

How we celebrated 
A small village setup was created in the school . It showed clouds, trees, punjabi man beating dhol and a woman dancing next to him. A bright shiny sun rose from behind the bunch of crops making the shine like gold. There were also street shops for bangles, toys, ice-cream .

Since Baisakhi is majorly a punjabi festival we asked children to come in punjabi wear. For our little kindergarteners it was a festival to flaunt themselves in traditional attires. They also  rejoiced on Bhangra beats It was a sight to watch

Then Lassi (sweetened butter milk)  a typical punjabi drink was served to children which they enjoyed muggling till the last drop.

We always send children carrying some take away craft which would remind them of the activity they had in school. This time we made ice-cream stick Bhnagra puppets. The teachers drew out a man in bahngra pose and the children did the colouring and stick them over small ice-creamsticks.
Next we made fan from colourful crape paper to make their turbans. And our cutie bhangra puppets were ready.
