Now, I would like to request our honourable Chief Guest to enlighten us on this auspicious occasion.

Address by the Chief Guest

Thank you sir for sharing your valuable thoughts.

India that is Bharat is known for its spirit of assimilating foreign influences and welcoming new customs and traditions, and thus becoming a panorama of varied cultures. The glimpse of India’s true spirit that is unity in diversity will be a treat to watch.

Unparalleled is the enthusiasm, the charm and the excitement of the young kids in displaying their love for the nation.

As they dress up in traditional outfits and colourful costumes, they depict rich culture and heritage, traditional variety and unique diversity of India.

Now, let’s witness innocent kids brimming with immense enthusiasm presenting a cute dance performance displaying the dances of various regions of India. Let’s have a quick glance of India’s Unity in Diversity. 

Cultural Dance

The republic day is marked by joyous celebration across the country. It is the euphoric celebration among people irrespective of their religion, caste and ideology. For kids it is a fun filled day as they dress up in tricolour outfits.

But, as they dress up in the attire and appearance of great Indian leaders they depict the valour of Rani Lakshmi Bai, Sukhdev, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Subhash Chandra Bose and salute the ideals of Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindra Nath Tagore and other unsung heroes paying homage to their efforts to make India a glorious nation. Let's rejoice this moment and give tribute to the great leaders and the builders of our nation. Let’s welcome the kids with all the gusto.

Fancy Dress Show

This is incredibly commendable. These children truly deserve a huge round of applause.

"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free .................. Into such heaven of freedom

My God, let my country awake."

True to the vision of Rabindra Nath Tagore we are celebrating this Republic day to commemorate 75 years of progressive Republic India and the glorious history of its people, culture and achievements, vision and ambition.

Today, we hail progressive India's socio-cultural, political and economic identity, empowered by the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Our friend ……………….. is here with us to speak his/her heart out on this Republic day and its significance essaying our role in making India a progressive country, let’s welcome him/her.

Speech

Republic day is such a big moment for all the Indians, a moment of pride and a moment of glory.

Today is the day wherein we take a trip down the memory lane of our golden heritage when the constitution of India came into force on this day in 1950. Here we have coming up next, a street play that will enrich us about the significance of this day and remind us of our fundamental rights and duties.

Street Play

It was awesome! This performance needs great cheers.

True, I didn’t know so much about our rights and duties.

Let’s honour our constitution in hearts!

Let’s salute its makers!

Let’s be aware of our rights!

Let’s be sincere to perform our duties!

Let’s be a responsible citizen!

Let’s be a true Indian!

As we move towards the close of the programme, I request respected Principal/Director to guide us all through his/her visionary thoughts.

Address by Principal/Director

Thank you sir/ma’am

"Jahan dal dal pe sone ki chidiyan karti hain basera.

Woh Bharat desh hai mera, who Bharat desh hai mera."

I’m pretty sure you all wanna sing with me.

So, let’s give a musical tribute to the nation, our martyrs, nation builders and all the proud Indians through a medley of patriotic songs.

Medley - Patriotic Songs

With this vibrant and melodious performance we have come to the close of this celebration.

"India is the cradle of human race, the birth place of human civilisation, the mother of history, the grandmother of legends and the great grandmother of tradition." 

Let’s join in the celebration with all our emotions, reverence and pride.

On the occasion of 75^th Republic day let us celebrate our rights, perform our duties sincerely and follow the constitution of free India with pride and honour.

Christmas Celebration

 

Christmas Celebration/Assembly/Programme

On the seventh day after creating the world, God said, “Let there be light” ……….. and …………….. there was light – light of senses, light of knowledge and light of love.

Good Morning, I am ………………... It’s a matter of great joy and unique privilege to welcome you all among us and celebrate this Christmas with you. Christmas is the celebration of this spiritual light along with the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is when God came down the stairs of heaven with a baby in his arms, and that was Jesus. There is love at Christmas because Jesus is born to teach the lesson of love, and spread love among the humanity. Let us each one keep alive the spirit of love and glorify our birth. Let's begin the programme with a warm welcome to all the guests and invitees. For the purpose I invite ……………….  on the stage.

Welcome Speech

Festivals signify joy, love, compassion, fraternity, unity and togetherness. On this festive occasion meeting with our friends and well wishers enhances the joy of the festival. Celebrating Christmas with you all certainly multiplies our joy. Our hearts are beaming with joy to welcome you on the occasion of Christmas. We are blessed to have our special guest ................. with us on such a grand and festive occasion. We welcome sir and all our guests, friends, well wishers and invitees with a big round of applause.

Thanks __________ .

Christ has no hands but your hands to touch, bless and heal, no feet but your feet to lead men in path of truth, no arms but your arms to raise in prayer, no tongue but your tongues to pray for the suffering mankind, no heart but your love, to care and to feel others’ pain. So dear friends, let us be Christ’s hands, arms, heart and tongue to pray for ourselves and the mankind.

Let’s join our hands and close our eyes, and invoke God’ blessings in our celebrations. Kindly don’t repeat the prayer.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Son to earth as a baby so many years ago.  Thank you that He paid the punishment for my sins by dying on the cross.  I thank you that He rose again to prove that death was truly defeated. I place my trust in You to be my Saviour. Guide me through the dark times of my life and give me courage to live for You.  We pray, to instil in us a profound sense of your abiding presence, and help us to take to heart the wonder of your love, that we may walk in your ways and delight in your will. Help us, Lord God, to be the faithful, gracious, loving, giving and forgiving people you would have us be. Amen.

Do you know the meaning of Christmas?

Yes of course.

Would you pl. tell me?

Christmas is a festival of joy, it is birth of Jesus. It is about Santa Claus and ................ Christmas tree and .............. lots of gifts.

No, my dear, Christmas is beyond all these things. God granted you the light of Christmas which is faith, the warmth of Christmas which is love, the radiance of Christmas which is purity, the righteousness of Christmas which is justice, the belief in Christmas which is truth, the all of Christmas which is Christ.

Do you really understand the meaning of these heavy words?

I know it’s really difficult but we have found a way to make you understand the real meaning and significance of Christmas through an act ……………….

Let’s enjoy the act.

Play

I hope this skit has been successful in bringing out the true spirit of Christmas and message behind celebration of Christmas. Christmas is a miraculous story of God becoming human, then humbling himself to accept a cruel death which has been truly manifested in the play. Let’s applaud the actors with great cheers.

In the footsteps of my saviour

I would walk each day,

Following everywhere they lead me,

Close to Him to stay forever.

Wisdom is a lamp that dispels the darkness of ignorance. We feel privileged to have a man of vision and virtue among us as our special guest/chief guest. We look up to you for inspiration and encouragement. I request Sir ………………. to share his words of wisdom and encouragement with us.
