“I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think.” - Socrates
This one quote summarizes the role of a teacher in our lives. On average, a teacher impacts the lives of 3000 students in his or her career, according to a report by (edsys.in). Therefore, it is only fair and justified to organize a fun teachers’ day activity or as many as you want to commemorate the impact of the teacher.
A teacher is like a ladder in a student’s journey of growth. Each knowledge or wisdom imparted to the students shapes them into a person who would transform the world by their actions and in turn, students can follow these unique teachers’ day activity and game ideas.

The best gift we can give to our teachers is the gift of respect.

You can also add some flowers, chocolates, and a diary with the pen and make this teachers’ day activity even more emotional.
A teacher may always frown at a notorious student because of his or her actions in the school, but remember that a teacher was also a student once so the idea of this teachers’ day activity is to rekindle those student days in the teacher’s mind by inviting him to partake in those activities like tiffin-sharing, pen fighting, etc.
