Introduction
Grandparents are our heritage and are essential members
of our families and communities. That is why a special
day, National Grandparent's Day, is set aside every year to
honor them. & this is the special day for us to spend
some time with our dear grandparent and have fun
together.
September 9, the Grandparents day, a special day for the
aged parents who are at the final laps of the life journey.
Every year the day falls in September, do you wonder why?
It is to symbolize that grandparents are in the autumn
years of life , and so September month was chosen for this
specially for Grandparents Day. Grandparents Day is never
earlier than September 7 or later than September 13.
". Grandparents are the link between the present and the
near past. It is through them the national heritage and
traditions are handed over to the next generation. It is the
experiences and beliefs of our grandparents and senior
members in society strongly affect our lives.
1) To honor grandparents
Song:
Send along grandparents photo with the grandchild and write behind
it With permanent marker the child's name, the name he calls that
grandparent and the date when the photo was clicked.
End note : With each grandparents day we should grow more and more
respectful to the elderly of our society. Forget them not, because they are the
foundation stones of our lives. Ignore them not, for they need our special care
and affection as they have spent their life and energy for us. Dishonor them not
as with each heart beat everyone is moving towards old age and thus towards
the graves.

10) Hearty Laugh: “He who laughs last” Grandparents day party game: This game is
hilarious to watch, and even more fun to play. It’s a real challenge, especially for
people who can’t keep a straight face. Players have to sit in a circle (on chairs if
necessary), facing each other. The player who starts says “ha!”, the next player in
the circle says “ha ha!”, the third player says “ha ha ha!” and so on around the circle.
As soon as someone says the wrong number of “ha”s, or starts laughing, they have
to leave the circle. Once a player leaves the circle, they have to try and make the
rest of the players laugh or make a mistake. The person who makes a mistake or
laughs last is the winner.
11) PEAS: The peas - are ping-pong balls of different colors. 2 players take part in this
game. Their task is to gather as many peas as possible. The peas (about 15 pieces)
are thrown about the room (hall). There are 2 chairs with the little buckets on them.

Everyone sits in a circle except one who is given a pillow and blind-
fold. They then go and place the pillow on a persons lap, sit on it
and say ducky ducky. The person should say "quack quack" this can
be done only 3 times. If the blind person guesses the name the
person, they should now be given the blind fold and the game run
over again - after everyone has changed their places.
All the boys gather in a group and each takes a card with a sequential
number (One, Two, Three etc). The girls do the same. The boys then
form a line (shoulder to shoulder) facing the girls who are in a similar
line. (Players should NOT stand in order. First a girl calls out a number
and the boy with that number goes across to kiss her. The a boy calls
out a number and the girl with that number goes and kisses him.
