Republic Day: 10 Easy Lines and History for Your Kindergarten Kids

In this blog post, we’re going to tell our little ones about Republic Day and its history in a way that’s easy for them to understand. Plus, we’ve included two sets of 10 lines each for their Republic Day speeches.

History of Republic Day:

A long time ago, before 1950, India didn’t make its own big rules. Other countries made rules for us. But on January 26, 1950, something great happened. India got its own book of big rules, called the Constitution. This book helps everyone in India live together nicely and fairly.

Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, a very intelligent and kind man, helped write this book. Because of this book, India became its own boss, called a republic. That means no other country can tell us what to do.

On Republic Day, we remember how we became a republic. We have big parades, where soldiers march and bands play music. In Delhi, the capital of India, there’s a very big parade. We see our flag, with orange, white, and green colors, flying high. This makes us feel proud of our country.

So, Republic Day is a day of happiness and pride. It’s a day to remember how we got our own rules and how we all can live together in peace and fairness.”
