so beautiful.”

● Parent 1: “Yes, my dear. Diyas are not only bright, but they are safe too. They do not
harm the air or make loud noises. They bring peace and positivity to our home.”

● Child 2: “We used flowers and natural colors for rangoli. It’s so colorful and fresh! And
we didn’t even need plastic decorations.”

● Parent 2: “That’s right. When we use eco-friendly decorations, we protect nature. It

makes our house look lovely and keeps the environment safe for everyone.”

● All together: “Let’s make Diwali bright with diyas, flowers, and laughter – not smoke and
pollution!”
(They exchange sweets and laugh together happily.)

Trisha and Vidhanshi will give intro to this skit

Scene 2: Family 2 – Crackers and Pollution

(Children rush on stage with crackers in hand. Background sound of loud crackers. Fog
machine creates smoke. A dog barks, neighbors cough and cover their ears.)

● Child 3 (excited): “Come on everyone, let’s burst lots of crackers! The louder they are,
the more fun we will have!”

● Child 4 (shouting happily): “Yes! It’s Diwali! Look at the big rockets I bought. Let’s
make the sky explode with colors!”
(Sound effects: BOOM! CRACK! Fizz! The stage fills with smoke.)

● Neighbor 1 (coughing): “Oh no, the smoke is making it hard to breathe! My throat is
burning.”

● Neighbor 2 (elderly, covering ears): “These loud noises are too much for me. I cannot
sleep peacefully at night during Diwali because of crackers.”

● Dog Owner (holding a toy dog that barks): “Even animals suffer. My poor dog is so
scared of the loud noise. He keeps barking and hiding under the bed.”

● Neighbor 3 (to children): “Children, do you see how crackers are hurting everyone
around us? They are fun for a few seconds but leave behind so much harm.”

“Do you know? The smoke increases asthma, cough, and breathing troubles. Noise hurts ears
and hearts. Even birds and animals suffer.”

Child - so how can we celebrate diwali by not burning crackers , what else will we do then ?

Eco-Friendly Ideas for Diwali

1. Light Diyas Instead of Crackers

Use earthen diyas, lanterns, or LED lights to brighten homes.

It saves energy and reduces noise + air pollution.

2. Use Natural Colors for Rangoli

Make rangolis with flowers, turmeric, rice powder, and pulses instead of chemical colors.

It looks vibrant and is biodegradable.

3. Plant a Tree as a Diwali Gift

Gift saplings or small indoor plants to friends and relatives instead of plastic gifts.

4. Distribute Homemade Sweets

Encourage children and families to prepare sweets at home instead of buying in plastic
packaging.

7. Share Happiness

Visit orphanages, old-age homes, or animal shelters to distribute sweets, diyas, and clothes.

8. Eco-Friendly Gifting

Give jute bags, clay pots, handmade candles, or organic products instead of flashy, non-
recyclable items.

Organize family games, cultural performances, storytelling, and eco-puja instead of spending on
fireworks.

Scene 4: (Friends Unite)

Children from Family 1 tell Family 2:

“We can celebrate by lighting diyas, making rangolis, dancing, and distributing sweets.”
Family 2 realizes mistake:
“From now on, we will celebrate Green Diwali – no crackers, only light and smiles.”

All children hold diyas and say together:

“Let’s celebrate Diwali with light, love, and laughter – not with smoke and noise!”

“Say No to Crackers”

“Green Diwali, Happy Diwali”

“Light Diyas, Not Firecrackers”

“Celebrate with Love, Not Noise”

🎤 Part : Pledge (Entire School / 10 students lead)

All together say:

“I pledge to celebrate Diwali with care.
I will not burn crackers.
