Celebrating Rakshabandhan with EYP2 Students at Ela Green School
The students of EYP 2 celebrated Rakshabandhan, a festival that stands for love, care, and protection between siblings. At Ela Green School, this day provided an avenue for our young students to have a taste of what friendship, love, and unity are all about, as depicted in the occasion.
A Heartwarming Celebration
On that note, the EYP2 students marked Rakshabandhan by tying traditional Rakhis not only around the wrists of their siblings but also around those of their classmates. This is much more than just a family affair; it embraces friends and peers who are always there for each other. The site of little hands threading colorful treads brought home to me how deep yet pure these ties were between our children.

Before the celebrations kicked off, teachers narrated stories explaining the cultural importance of Rakshabandhan to kids. Through the storytelling method, they learned from history how the festival began and why it is celebrated using Rakhis, which is a symbol of safety and affection among brothers and sisters. They were able to learn that apart from being ritualistic, this program was about concern shown through mutual respect among one another.
Creating Handcrafted Rakhis
During this celebration activity, EYP2 students participated in making rakhis. These children would make their own Rakhis using colored threads together with decorative materials such as beads under guidance from their teachers as part of a hands-on exercise. Such crafty exercises enabled them to be more attached to themselves rather than just tying rakhis.

Expressing Bonds Through Rakhis
The climax was when kids exchanged handmade Rakhis among themselves; they did this by tying them to each other’s hands. Their bonding was strengthened when they tied rakhi around one another’s wrists; it is a very simple act to show the meaning of the friendship that is shared among people. The act of putting them on caused much excitement as seen from their faces, which clearly showed how to give and receive love.
At Ela Green School, Rakshabandhan was more than a festival; for EYP2 students, it was an opportunity to learn about love, friendship, and unity. This increased the comprehension of cultural traditions and also made bonds in the classroom stronger. They ended up with colorful Rakhis on their arms when leaving Ela Green School, thus associating themselves with the school and remembering good times spent together.
This year’s Rakshabandhan celebration reminded us all of how important it is to develop strong relationships founded on love and care, something that our children have embraced wholeheartedly.
