Mindful Ways To Honour Women On Women's Day

Women are the backbone of society, playing multifaceted roles as caregivers, leaders, innovators, and change-makers. Their contributions span across every aspect of life, from nurturing families to driving economic growth and shaping cultural norms. Despite facing historical and systemic barriers, women continue to break barriers and shatter stereotypes, proving their resilience and capability time and again. Celebrating women means recognizing their inherent worth, championing their rights, and creating opportunities for them to thrive.

Celebrating Women's Day is not just about acknowledging the achievements and contributions of women but also about recognizing the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women's rights. It serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender parity and the work that still needs to be done. By celebrating Women's Day, we honour the resilience, strength, and diversity of women worldwide. It's an opportunity to amplify women's voices, advocate for equal opportunities, and inspire future generations to strive for gender equality in all aspects of life. Moreover, it's a time to reflect on the accomplishments of women throughout history and the importance of continuing to empower women to create a more inclusive and equitable society for all.

Ways To Honour Women On Women’s Day

Make this Women’s Day celebration a little more fun and memorable for the beautiful and strong women in your lives. We have listed down amazing gestures and activities that will make them happy.

1. Cook Them A Special Meal

Women are by default assigned to the household chores that include cooking meals for the family too. This Women’s Day, take the initiative to understand their share of responsibilities and treat them to homemade food made by you. Whether it’s their favourite dish or a new recipe that you are trying your hands on, they are going to love the effort (and the food!).

2. Be Supportive

Sometimes the best way to show appreciation is simply to be present and attentive. This Women’s Day, take the opportunity to listen to the women in your life, offer your unwavering support and encouragement when needed, and let them know that you have always got their back, irrespective of the obstacles and situations they face in life.

3. Help Them With Their Work

Although women are capable of doing things on their own, they too need help. Ask the women in your life if they need help with a task, whether it's a work assignment or a home improvement project. Your assistance can go a long way in showing your support and appreciation for their hard work and dedication.

Fun Activities To Do On Women’s Day

6. The Guessing Game

Offer a pen and paper to every lady. Make them write 2-3 truths about themselves on the paper.   Collect the papers from all the ladies and put them in the bowl. Invite one lady to the centre and let her pick a folded piece of paper from the bowl. She needs to read the truths out loud and guess who wrote them. Write down the points. In the end, the lady with the highest points wins.

7. Draw On A Balloon

Hand a ballpoint pen and a balloon to 5 ladies at a time. Blow the whistle and ask the ladies to draw something on the balloons using the pen. For example, you can suggest drawing four hearts on the balloon. The guests can also draw the item with the paper on their heads and a pen or pencil to draw with. It’s challenging when you can’t see what you are drawing.

8. Musical Quiz

This game needs some preparation so make a list of the songs you will play during the game. Also, note down some questions regarding the songs, such as “Who is the singer of this song?”, “What is the hook step of this song?”, “Who made a guest appearance in this song?” etc. When the guests arrive, divide the ladies into groups of two. If you have more than four ladies in a group, form more groups and play the game in batches. Invite the first batch, i.e., the two groups of four ladies.

9. Never Have I Ever

This is a great game to find out who has done some of your group's most thrilling and bizarre things. To play this game, one participant says something they have never done, and everyone in the group who has done it loses one point.

If a person loses 5 points, they are out of the game. The last one standing is the winner. You’ll unveil some of the best and naughtiest facts about your friends through this game.

10. The Memory Game

Make a group of 4-5 ladies and hand them pens and paper. Now, arrange some common household items on the tray. For example, you can arrange a lipstick, a glass, a watch, a coin, a stapler, and other such items in a line.

Now let all the participants have a close look at the items in the tray for 40 seconds and try to memorize the sequence of placement. Then, take the tray away. All the participants had to list the things in the order that were arranged in the tray. The participant who gets all the items right and in the correct order wins the game.

11. Blow The Balloons

Hand a balloon to each lady. Once you blow the whistle, all the ladies get 10 breaths to blow the balloon. The participant who blows the biggest balloon in 10 breaths wins the game.

12. Two Truths And A Lie

In this game, one person has to come up in the centre and say two truths and one lie about themselves. All the ladies there have to guess which is the lie and which is the truth. Instead of winning or losing, you’ll find out some interesting and amazing things about your squad playing this game.

13. Role Reversal

Place the cards in a container for participants to randomly draw from. Ask participants to draw a role card from the container at the beginning of the challenge. Allocate a specific amount of time (e.g., 10-15 minutes) for participants to research and gather information about the achievements of women in their chosen roles. Now, each participant has to enact a unique aspect or the name of the person they have chosen. The rest of the participants have to guess the name of the person and identify their profession.

14. Guess The Food

For this game, you need to form two teams. One member of each team is blindfolded and has to guess the food item in front of them. The blindfolded person can touch the food but can’t smell it. By touching it, they’ll have to identify the food item. The person who guesses correctly first gets a point for their team. The team with the highest points wins the game.
