Education is of utmost importance in an individual's life. It helps bring out our hidden talents and provides us with the necessary platform to discover our interests and sharpen our skills. It lays the foundation for the kind of lifestyle we will later adopt.
Apart from this, schools teaches kids the social skills they need to sustain themselves in all other aspects of life and teach them different values. Kids learn and retain information better when they are in an interactive fun-filled environment. They look upon things with awe and wonder, thirsty for answers and curious to figure out how the world works. The First Day of School plays an important role in every child's life.
Children enter their schools on the First Day of school with a lot of anticipation and excitement, or in some cases even with hesitation and unwillingness. Whatever be the case, it is important to make them understand that learning can be fun and innovative.
One of the best ways to bring about this mindset in them and instill enthusiasm is by organizing Activity For First Day of school to enhance various skills that they may possess.
Thus, this welcome Activity For First Day of school includes 10-minute classroom activities planned for different classes from Nursery to 12th. It is aimed to be conducted on the First Day of school, either after any vacation (i.e., on reopening the day after a break) or on the first day at the start of a new academic program/year/semester.
This approach will help students realize and understand the importance of education and start their journey with a pleasant experience rather than pressure, through participating in a range of interesting activities.
