How You Can Celebrate 4th of July - Independence Day

 This is how you can just celebrate this national holiday in a different way.

 Hoist the national flag in the morning of the Fourth july. You could ask your friends and other kids of the around to join you. Form a team. Let one of you blow a trumpet to show respect to the spirit of Independence. Following this let everybody sing the anthem in chorus.  It will cast a strange kind of spell over the whole ambience.

Decorate your house with balloons, and streamers, in red or blue. Paint the white balloons with stripes of red. And paint silver white stars on some blue balloons. You can also leave some red and blue balloons just as they are. The idea behind all these is to allow the colors of the Flag rule roost. Leave the colorful streamers trailing in the summer breeze.

Use flowers in decoration: Make red, white and blue tissue flowers and wire them into cone shaped styro foams. Make ribbon loops in one color, either red or blue, stitch their ends and wire them. Then push them into the cone between the flowers to finish. The cones may be used as table decorations. Or, they may be speared on lengths of bamboo stakes. Paint the stakes red or blue and spray the top of the gravel with color. Secure them in pots of gravel. Spray paint the gravels in red, blue and white. Trim the pot with ribbons. These give the patio a festive air.

Be a leader in arranging something creative: say, kind of a performing art. Take the initiative to stage a historic play. Seek your parents' help. Consult your teachers. Pick up the characters from out of your friends. And rehearse through a few weekends well beforehand.

You can also take an initiative to host a poetry or story (of patriotic theme) reading contest. And disclose the idea to your class teacher or local poets.

Or, go in for a musical Independence Day celebration. Organize, kind of a musical show, with the bands playing some patriotic theme? This is feasible if musical instruments comes handy to you and your friends.

You could also host a 4th of July theme party. It may be a costume party. Ask all your invitees to come sporting the 18th century dresses. It's like reliving those glorious events associated with our Independence. You can take the help of your teachers.
