6 Excellent Ideas To Innovate Cultural Programmes In School

Cultural programmes play a major part in a school student’s life. By taking part in the programmes, right from an early age, children come to know about the rich culture and traditions being followed which also develops their interpersonal skills. They learn the values imparted and would respect all the cultures, alike, when they grow up!

When the cultural programmes are spread across the academic year, children find it exciting and enjoy going to school. As we all know, schools play a major role in organizing such events and we at Reeds World School, one of the top CBSE schools in Coimbatore, meticulously plan and execute such programmes with the help of our amazing and dedicated teachers!

Language clubs:

At Reeds World School, we believe languages are the strong building blocks for a child, through which they express their thoughts freely and creatively! That is why, we have Tamil, Hindi and English clubs and every month, we conduct the cultural programmes highlighting a culture and its importance. Children dress up and take part in plays, sing songs and dance. This incites their Language knowledge and we encourage poetry writing and creative writing for higher classes.

Festival Celebrations:

All the important festivals are celebrated at Kindergarten level for the children to know what rich culture our Country has. All the teachers at Reeds World School also dress up in our cultural attire and bring out the specialties of each festival. Diyas are made for Diwali, Pongal made in school, Karthigai, Holi, Rakshabandan, Onam, Christmas, Eid, etc. Children are encouraged to come to school in traditional dress and take part in fancy dress competitions, dance and music.

Birthday celebrations:

Being one of the Top CBSE Schools in Coimbatore, we at Reeds World School, inspire the students to wear our traditional dresses to school for their most awaited special day, their birthdays. We chant Sanskrit sloka to bless the child and explain its meaning thereby showing the value of our culture handed over to us by our revered sages.

 Sports:

As a part of language club activities, we bring in various traditional cultural games like the pallankuzhi, silambam, paandi, Yoga and explain its importance to the children. Pallankuzhi improves the child’s gross motor skills and silambam makes one sharp! Yoga is the way to a healthy body and mind. Our Reeds World School students actively take part in all the activities and have won many prizes which encourages them to do more!

Food:

In order to create awareness in children about our rich cultural values, we at Reeds World School, one of the Top CBSE Schools in Coimbatore, celebrate a day to enjoy food! Our teachers and students bring in a dish from home, from any culture and everyone gets a chance to taste those lip smacking dishes! Its utmost fun as everyone enjoys and connects through food!

Grandparents day:

At Reeds World School, emphasis is always on our values and how the elders in the family are a treasure house of knowledge. So, we celebrate Grandparents and Parents day by giving them an opportunity to come in and see what their tiny tots are doing in school, their classroom ambience, etc. Grandparents can share any life experience or any stories or songs which enriches the young minds!

Children are also taught to respect their elders by performing pooja to the parents and grandparents, thereby thanking them in gratitude.

Events in Annual day:

As a part of Annual day celebrations, the most look forwarded to event in the academic year, our team of expert teachers plan and execute the cultural events. We have skits, music, drama, dance, yoga, the folk songs showcasing the talents of our children thereby celebrating our cultural differences.

Once we teach children to celebrate our differences, we can be sure we are bringing up the future generation to see everything from the right perspective and we are all one, yet unique!
