How can Teachers Brief Students about Defence Day?
Pre-school and primary school children are very young. So teachers should tell children about the defence day in simple as well as easy words.
“Dear children! Do you know why we celebrate Defence Day on September 6? Let me tell you why we celebrate defence day on the 6th of September. On September 6, 1965, Indian troops suddenly invaded our country. And the target of that attack was Pakistani Punjab. The brave Pakistani soldiers fought bravely against the enemy.
The war was ended with the support of the UN, but many people of both countries lost their lives in the war. Many of our soldiers were martyred while defending their country. To pay tribute to these martyrs, we celebrate defence day on the 6th of September every year. On this day, a guard change ceremony is held at Mazar-e-Quaid. Various programs are performed, national and motivational songs are sung and tributes are paid to the martyrs.”
In the end, you can deliver a message about patriotism to the students and also motivate them to serve and love their country.
