Best Ideas for Celebrating Teacher’s Day Virtually

Every year teacher’s day is celebrated in India on the 5th of September, to commemorate the birth date of its second president, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. He was a teacher and an ardent promoter of Indian education. For every teacher, this day is very important as all the students put in their sincere efforts to make this day memorable for their favorite teacher.

“Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if 5 September is observed as Teachers’ Day.”

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.

Teachers are an integral part of a student’s life and the influence of a good teacher can never be erased. That is why the 5th of October is observed as World Teacher’s Day to celebrate the hard work and the sacrifices that a teacher makes in educating their students and making them a better representation of themselves.

To add a dash of virtual twist to your teacher’s day celebrations, we have got some perfect ideas for the students to virtually amp up their celebrations and make your teacher feel special.
Isn’t it exciting?

Let’s get started with some best ideas to celebrate teacher’s day virtually at home.

1. Write Down A Poem

Well well, put on your creative caps and take out your notebook and a pen. Get ready to delve into the creative world of words. This is perhaps one of the easiest ways to make your teacher feel special and loved. Write down your thoughts, your feelings for your teacher. In your own words, tell them what they mean to you and what importance they hold in your life. You can also create acrostic poetry which is nothing but taking the first alphabet of your teacher’s name and writing an adjective that will best describe their personality. Trust us, it will look very beautiful and heart-warming. While reading out your acrostic poem to your teacher, don’t forget to click a cute picture.

2. Make A Group Video Or PPT

Back in school, your studies largely revolved around group projects. Well, how about you take this habit to the next level. You can connect with your groups and friend circle and ask them to create a video or a PPT. You just make short clips of your message along with any photo that you have got. And we can assure you that this will leave a memorable mark on your teacher’s heart.

3. Create E-Cards And Cute Notes

Another simple yet effective way to express your love for your teacher is by sending them an e-note or a cute handwritten note via email. In this fast-paced world, people have forgotten the importance of handwritten notes. Well, this year you take that extra step and send a cute handwritten note to your teacher thereby, expressing your gratitude and unconditional love for them. In case the child is small, even parents can help them in writing a note by asking your child and sending it across to the teacher.

4. Use Colourful Placards

This is one of the most fun-filled and cool ways to show your appreciation towards your teacher. The placard can simply read “Happy Teacher’s Day” or any sweet and crisp message that you want to put forward across. All you have to do is take an A4 size sheet and write an alphabet or a message for instance; for happy teacher’s day, the first student will be writing H, the second one A, and so on. Let your friends send their photos where they are holding the placards and convert that into a beautiful collage. Once ready, share this with your teacher, and she is going to love the team efforts that went behind.

5. Conduct Fun Activities For Teachers

Who said that “virtual teachers’ day” celebrations cannot be fun-filled? It’s time to make proper use of the technology and give your celebrations a virtual twist. For example, you can conduct the famous lemon and spoon race virtually for all your teachers. Similarly, you can prepare a mystery box of chits with numbers and secret activities written for them. Ask your teachers to pick a random number and motivate them to perform the activity. All you have to do is make your virtual teacher’s day celebrations worthy by thinking out of the box.

6. Organize Virtual Performances

This is our personal favorite! Back in school days, when our teachers used to perform it was one of the best things to witness. Brace yourself to bring out the hidden talent of yours by conducting exciting activities like dance, singing, mimicry, role-plays, etc. Apart from students dancing and singing, encourage your teachers to perform whatever they like and are comfortable with.

7. Virtual Lunch Meets

Covid-19 may have taken away your precious lunch breaks in the canteen or small breaks amidst the ongoing classes. Bring on the lost fun this teacher’s day. Ask your parents to make something delicious and let your friends bring some drool-worthy dishes to the virtual party meets. And let your lunch party bring back the memories of the old-school days.
