How to Celebrate Universal Children's Day
The first thing you'll have to ask yourself when celebrating Children's Day is when you want to celebrate it. As mentioned before, nearly every country celebrates this day on a different date, so depending on where you are in the world, the ways you can do it vary. If you have children, this day would be a great day to spend with them, doing something both fun and educational that the whole family can enjoy. How about a trip to the zoo? Nothing is quite as fascinating to children as wild animals are, and watching them live and function will give you lots of opportunities to talk about different parts of the world and the environment with yours. You could also take them to see a good children's movie, so you can first watch it and then discuss the story afterwards. Why did the hero/heroin behave the way he or she did? Why was the villain's behavior wrong? What would your child do if he or she was in a similar situation?
Though many people do not seem to notice, all of the better animated movies are not just about colorful animation and lively songsthey teach important life lessons to children as well, about friendship, loyalty, compassion, common sense and love, making them excellent topics for a conversation with your son or daughter over an ice cream sundae after the movie.
