World Red Cross Day Anchoring Script

Anchor A: Good morning to all present here! Respected Principal Ma’am/Sir, teachers, and my dear friends —
Today is not just any other day. It is 8th May – World Red Cross Day, a day dedicated to humanity, compassion, and hope.

Anchor B: Absolutely! Today, we pay tribute to the Red Cross Society and its founder, Henry Dunant, who was born on this day and also received the first Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian efforts during war. Let’s begin our assembly by remembering those who help without expecting anything in return.

Anchor A: Let us join our hands, close our eyes, and begin this meaningful morning with a prayer for peace, service, and humanity. (Prayer is sung)

Anchor B: Here is today’s Thought of the Day – “You have never really lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

Anchor A: This thought reminds us — true service lies in selflessness. And that’s what the Red Cross volunteers do every day — serve people in crisis, disaster zones, and medical emergencies across the world.

Anchor B: Let’s learn something interesting! Did you know? The Red Cross operates in 192 countries, and its volunteers are often the first to arrive during natural disasters, wars, and pandemics.

Anchor A: In India, we know it as the Indian Red Cross Society, established in 1920, and it works during earthquakes, floods, and health emergencies like COVID-19.

Anchor B: Let’s test how ready we are to help others. We’ll give you a situation — raise your hand if you would step up and help!

Question: If your classmate faints during PT, what will you do?
a) Ignore and walk away
b) Inform the teacher and stay with them
c) Call for help but run away before anyone sees

(Pause for responses)

Anchor A: Correct answer is b. Just like Red Cross volunteers, helping someone in need shows courage and care — two things every student should practice.

Anchor B: Today, our class has prepared a short roleplay on “First Aid & Emergency Help” — how YOU can be a real-life hero like the Red Cross team. (Short 2-3 minute skit can be presented)

Anchor A: Now, we invite [Student Name] to share a short poem on “Humanity Has No Language – A Tribute to the Red Cross.” (Short poem or speech — pre-prepared)

Anchor B: Here’s a simple task for today — Write one act of kindness you did this week and stick it on your classroom’s Red Cross corner. Let’s celebrate real heroes — our own classmates who help, who care, and who serve.

Anchor A: Let us now rise for the National Anthem. (National Anthem is sung)

Anchor B: Dear friends, Red Cross Day is a reminder — you don’t need a cape to be a hero. You just need a helping heart and a brave mind.

Anchor A: So today, let’s pledge: “Whenever I see someone in trouble, I will stop and help. I will be kind, responsible, and alert — just like a Red Cross volunteer.”

Both Together: Thank you for being such a wonderful audience. Let’s make this day count — not just in school, but wherever we go.

This anchoring script is not just a normal school activity, but a message – a message that helps children understand the importance of service spirit, cooperation, and responsibility.

We hope that this World Red Cross Day Anchoring Script will not only make your Morning Assembly meaningful but also instill a deep sense of humanity in the minds of the students. When you go to the forum today, just remember this much – even small words can leave a big impact.
