Diwali Diya Lighting Contest
If you
have an open area available on your premises, holding this contest won't
be a problem. Invite many of your friends and cousins and divide them
into five or six groups. Set up a time frame of ten to fifteen minutes
and ask each team to light diyas (earthen lamps) within that time. The
team lighting maximum diyas in given time wins.
Diwali Firecracker Competition
This also requires an open area,
preferably a big roof, and a great number of firecrackers. Invite many
of your friends and cousins and divide them into five or six groups. Ask
all of them to bring along the crackers and sparklers they have bought.
Collect all the crackers and divide them into equal portions for each
group. Set up a time frame of ten to twenty minutes and ask each team to
burst their crackers within that time. The team bursting their crackers
in the shortest span of time wins.
Diwali Drawing Contest - Another fun activity for Diwali is holding a
Drawing Contest. Invite a number of your friends and cousins and divide
them into five or six groups. Hand over a large blank paper sheet to
every participant, (take one yourself) and draw pictures of anything
related to Diwali, like diya patterns, Lord Ganesha, Laxmi Devi and
write "Happy Diwali" underneath in fancy writing.
Have anyone elder with a good knowledge of drawing to act as the judge.
The award should go to the one who draws the most beautiful picture.
Fancy Dress Competition
A fancy dress competition is another splendid activity idea for Diwali.
Dress up as your favourite cartoon character, any historical persona,
the movie star you love or a character from the fairy tale you like.
Throw a party at home on Diwali eve and hold a fancy dress contest. Ask
your friends and cousins (that is those who belong to your age group) to
come prepared for the occassion, dressed as they like for the
competition. Ask some of your elders to act as judges. The award should
be handed over to the one who comes dressed in the most innovative
manner.
Musical Chairs
This is another popular game to play on any festive occassion. And your
Diwali celebrations can be more fun with this musical pastime. This
fabulous game requires at least six to seven players. It's best to play
this while you attend a Diwali Party at any of your relatives place and
have many of your cousins around. Or you can also call your friends at
your place on Diwali.
Place a group of chairs in a circular arrangement and call your
friends/cousins. The total number of chairs should be one short than the
total number of players. Get a stereo or a music player and play a
groovy dance track. Ask an elder person to start and stop the music at
his/her own wish. As soon as the music starts, the players are required
to walk to music around the group of chairs and sit down when the music
stops. The player left standing in each round is eliminated. Continue
the game in this way till all the players are out except one. The
remaining player should be given an award, like a Candy pack or a box of
crackers.
Antakshari
You must have played Antakshari, the popular musical game, sometime or
other? If you have, you don't hafta learn it again. And if you have not,
here's how you can play it.
Invite your pals and sit in a circular arrangement. As the host, you
should sing up first and start the game. The idea of the game is that,
each participant should sing the first two lines of a Hindi film song.
The singer has to stop at the end of two complete lines and the last
Hindi letter of the last word sung is then used by the next singer to
sing another song, starting with that letter. Stop as soon as you finish
singing two complete lines and urge the friend sitting left or right to
you to sing a song that begins with the last letter of your song. The
taking up of songs should continue in a clockwise or an anti-clockwise
direction.
