Father’s Day is a day when we say “thank you” to our dads, stepdads, and anyone who takes care of us like a dad. It’s celebrated in many places around the world. On this day, we show how much we love and appreciate them for all the things they do for us.
Dads are very important in our lives. They help keep us safe, teach us new things, and are great role models. Father’s Day is a chance to say “thank you” for everything they do and to celebrate the special bond we share with them.

Create a “Thank You” Tree: Gather some colorful paper, scissors, and markers. Help the children cut out leaf shapes from the paper. On each leaf, ask them to write or draw something they love about their dad or a father figure. Attach these leaves to a paper tree trunk on a wall or a bulletin board. This activity helps children express gratitude and recognize the different ways their dads are special to them.
Father’s Day Role Play: Set up a small play area with props like hats, ties, or tools. Encourage the children to role-play different activities they enjoy doing with their dads, such as fixing things, cooking, or playing sports. This hands-on activity allows children to explore and appreciate the roles their dads play in their lives through imaginative play.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to observe and point out things that remind them of their dads or father figures, like a strong tree, a playful dog, or a caring teacher. After the walk, gather the children and discuss what they observed and how these things relate to their dads. This activity encourages children to connect their learning to the world around them.
