Holi is among one of the most fun-filled festivals in India. Therefore, Holi decoration in schools should be entertaining too.
The school decoration should be something, which kids can be a part of, of course, with some help from the teachers. But what can you do? Not to worry.
In this article, I’m listing 9 Holi decoration ideas, which are easy to implement in schools. Check them out.
Holi Decoration Ideas for Schools:
1- Design a Happy Holi Banner
OK, creating a Happy Holi banner with paper cuttings is the easiest method to decorate your school for Holi. And for this, cut out colorful paper in the shape of alphabets. Now tape them on a string.
Also, instead of cutting out the alphabet, you can draw them on different colored papers. And where can you use these banners?
Well, everywhere you want. Hang the banners on the entrance gate, office, and in the prayer hall. You can put these banners on classroom doors too if you have the energy. Then, you can also get plain colorful paper cuttings to decorate the outdoor space.
2- Fill Bulletin Board with Colors
Now, when you’re decorating the school, the bulletin board mustn’t be missed. And there too, no hard work is required. It’s all about colors.
You can start with a handmade Holi chart. Splash colors on a large chart paper, or spill colorful inks and spread them around. You can even fill the chart with colorful handprints. And then, write Holi wishes with black markers.
Instead of free-flowing ink spills and handprints, you can use leaf prints too. Add some colorful flowers, and there you get an impressive bulletin board decorated for Holi.
You can also pin colorful Holi cards on the bulletin board.
3- Create Colorful Thermocol Cut-outs
You can make Holi decoration more fun by drawing large cartoons of people playing Holi. Doesn’t matter how perfect they come out to be. After all, it’s Holi; enjoy the process.
Paste the drawing on thermocol blocks and create life-size cut-outs. You can also get Holi-themed posters/stickers for the cut-outs, instead of drawing the images.
And also try creating colorful Happy Holi letter cut-outs. Draw those alphabets on paper and stick them to thermocol.
You can place these in the auditorium, play area, or near the entrance.
4- Put up Colorful Balloons
Another way to introduce color in your Holi decoration is by using balloons.
Balloons? Yes, balloons are universal decoration items. You can use them at parties, corporate events, and festivals as well. Pick as many colors as you can. After all… Yes, it’s Holi.
You can put the balloons around window panes, decorate the doors or stick them to the walls. Even create a complete entrance gate if you feel like doing it.
Also, you can hang a bunch of them on different trees in the playground. But take care not to fall off the branches.
5- Decorate with Bright Lights
Now, although Holi has nothing much to do with lights, you can use vibrant multi-colored lights for school decoration.
You can put tiny lights, colorful lanterns, or pretty bulbs, in the halls or on the outer walls. All those red, blue, and green lights will not only complement your decoration but also make the building prettier.
Also, kids and teachers will have a fun time brightening up the building. Where else can you put them on?
Yeah, right! On the trees and plants. Wrap the lights around the trunk or let them rest on the branches. And you’re good to go.
6- Paint the Walls with Patterns
Oh yes, painting the walls is among the best ways to decorate the school for Holi.
Help the kids show their creative skills. You don’t have to paint the entire wall, but you can draw some wavy patterns. Along with the patterns, you can also put-up different shapes relevant to your regional culture.
Use bright colors for the designs. You can even paint Holi elements like water-guns, balloons, and buckets. Kids can get pretty creative with such ideas.
