Indian Independence day is just around the corner and I am sure you are reading this post because you are looking for some really nice and engaging online Independence Day celebration ideas that are suitable for kids as well as adults. Amidst the pandemic, every event and activity has become virtual may it be online classes for kids, or work meetings and presentations for adults. Not just this, but virtual events have also become popular and a regular thing now. But at times, it becomes very boring to attend an event virtually, I am saying this from my own experience despite the fact that I am one of the top motivational speakers in India and speak at many virtual events. Considering this, I am sharing some really engaging and fun online Independence day celebration ideas suitable for everyone. So, let’s find out!
Online Independence Day Celebration Ideas for kids
- Drawing competition
This is a good idea where you can ask the kids to draw the national flag of India and be creative with the drawing. You can include an award or certificate for this too
- Essay writing competition
Ask the kids to write an essay on Independence day within a given timeline and then ask them to read it loud like a speech in front of everyone.
- Singing competition
But here’s the catch, they only have to sing patriotic songs!
- Guess the freedom fighter
Oh this is my favourite one. Teacher, facilitator or mentor can show a photo of the freedom fighter and kids have to guess the name. This can be played single-single also, or kids can be divided into 2-4 teams too
- Tell a story
Ask the kids to tell a story that is related to India’s independence. They can talk about any movement, any freedom fighter, or significant story about the India’s history etc.
Online Independence Day Celebration Ideas for Adults
It is easier to keep the kids engaged but adults, they easily get bored. And you cannot give them activities like you give for the kids. As a good host, you have to make the celebration fun for adults. How to do it? Well, read on!
- Antakshari
But there is only one rule, songs have to be patriotic
- Movie quiz
This is fun and I totally love playing this one. Here, you have to give a hint about the movie but telling a storyline, a scene or maybe actors and then the person has to guess the movie. For independence celebration, you can talk about Patriotic movies only. And yes, Lagaan is a patriotic movie. I have had an argument about this during this game. Hehe!
- Dumb Charades
Unlike the quiz, here they just have to enact the movie and everyone to guess the name!
- Painting/Doodling
Even adults like to doodle or paint sometimes. Remember the climax of Taare Zameen Par movie? Everyone enjoy the process, who cares about the art. There should be 1 rule in this game – No judgement only fun. And yes, theme has to be patriotic.
- Virtual dance party
Put on some patriotic songs and dance your heart out. I totally love to groove on Sapno ka jo des hai, haan hum vahi hai pale.. and suno gaur se duniyawalo..
Hope this helps! If so, save it, share it, bookmark it.
