Anchor:
Good morning and a warm welcome to everyone present here! Today is a very special day. It is a day that reminds us of the beauty of languages, the power of words, and the importance of our mother tongue. Yes, today we are celebrating International Mother Language Day!
Languages are not just words; they are emotions, culture, and identity. Imagine a world where everyone speaks the same language. It might seem simple, but would it feel the same? Would our songs sound as beautiful? Would our stories feel as magical? No, because our mother tongue carries the heart of our heritage.
So, before we begin, let’s give a big round of applause to our school, teachers, and all those who have made this event possible. Also, let’s welcome our respected principal, teachers, and dear friends with a loud cheer!
(Pause for applause)
Now, to start this wonderful celebration, let’s invite [Guest Name] to share a few words about today’s importance. Please give a huge round of applause for [Guest Name].
(Guest Speech)
Thank you so much for your inspiring words. Now, let’s make this event even more exciting!
A Fun Act: “Guess the Language”
Now, let’s play a small game. I will say a word, and you all have to guess which language it belongs to. Ready?
- “Bonjour” (French)
- “Namaste” (Hindi)
- “Hola” (Spanish)
- “Konnichiwa” (Japanese)
- “Salam” (Arabic)
Wow! That was amazing. See how many languages we come across in our daily life? Every language has its own beauty, and that’s why we should always respect all languages while also loving our mother tongue.
A Short Story: “The Lost Words”
Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a boy named Aryan. Aryan loved to speak in English because he thought it made him look smart. He avoided speaking in his mother tongue, Bengali.
One day, his grandmother told him, “Aryan, do you know the story of our language?”
She told him how, many years ago, people fought for their right to speak their mother tongue. Some even gave their lives so that future generations could speak freely. Aryan was shocked. He realized that a language is not just a way to communicate; it is a treasure that connects us to our roots. From that day, Aryan took pride in his language.
Friends, just like Aryan, we must all respect our language and never forget its value.
A Beautiful Poem: “My Mother Tongue”
My mother tongue, my heart’s own sound,
In its words, my dreams are found.
The lullabies my mother sings,
The joy that every story brings.
I may learn words from far and wide,
But in my heart, you stand with pride.
A melody so deep, so true,
Oh, mother tongue, I love you!
I hope you liked this poem. If you did, give me a loud round of applause!
(Pause for applause)
A Special Performance
Now, let’s add more excitement! We have a special performance by [Performer’s Name/Group]. They are going to present a song/poem/dance related to the beauty of languages. So, sit back and enjoy!
(Performance)
That was truly wonderful! Let’s appreciate them with a big round of applause!
An Inspirational Message
Dear friends, languages are a gift. No matter where we go, we must never forget our roots. Speaking in our mother tongue is not a sign of being backward; it is a sign of pride. We can learn new languages, but we should always love and respect our own.
Even great leaders like Rabindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, and APJ Abdul Kalam spoke proudly in their mother tongues. So, let’s promise today that we will always respect and celebrate our languages.
Ending Speech
As we come to the end of this beautiful celebration, I want to thank everyone who made this event successful—our respected teachers, guests, and all the students who participated.
A big thank you to all of you for being such a wonderful audience. Let’s remember, our language is our identity. So, speak it, love it, and respect it!
