How do foreign countries celebrate Children's Day?

In fact, many countries in the world have designated June 1 as Children's Day, especially socialist countries and countries in the former Soviet Union camp. However, in European and American countries, the date of Children's Day is different, and the way to celebrate it is not the same. Sweden and Japan set up two different festivals for boys and girls respectively. In South Korea and Singapore, parents can also have a holiday on Children's Day, so they can take their children out to play.

Singapore Children's Day:

Children buy full tickets and adults buy half tickets.

In Singapore, the annual Children's Day is set at 10 and 1. It is reported that starting from this year, Singapore Children's Day will be changed to the first Friday of 10.

Singapore's holiday regulations clearly stipulate that Children's Day, 10, 1, not only children in kindergartens and primary schools have holidays, but all adults also have holidays to avoid the situation that adults go out to work and no one plays with their children.

On Children's Day, Singapore's largest national playground also made a special provision for Children's Day: children buy full tickets and adults buy half tickets. Not only let the children happily experience the feeling of being a grown-up, but also let the adults rediscover their long-lost childhood.

196 1 On May 5, 2008, the content of the Child Welfare Law was formally added to the Korean Constitution, so this day of the year was designated as Children's Day in Korea. This day is a national public holiday, and even adults have a holiday. Generally speaking, parents will give gifts to their children and take them to the zoo or museum on this day.

Japanese boys' day:

Carp is hung on the roof of every household.

The tradition of Japanese Boys' Day and Girls' Day began as early as the 8th century. On March 3 every year, girls first celebrate this festival, which is also called "Doll's Day". On this day, parents who have daughters at home will decorate their homes with beautiful dolls and plum blossoms in Japanese kimonos as holiday gifts for their daughters. On the same day, the family will also drink sweet rice wine to celebrate the festival.

Next is Boys' Day on May 5th. In order to protect the health and happiness of boys at home, every family in Japan will make colorful ribbons in the shape of carp out of paper or cloth on this day, and then string these ribbons on bamboo poles, tie them together with golden windmills and hang them on the roof. Japanese parents will also put samurai dolls at home on this day. The family will eat Japanese zongzi to celebrate.

On 1948, Boys' Day was designated as a national public holiday, and there are also calls in Japan to designate Girls' Day as a public holiday.

In addition,165438+1October 15 is Children's Day for children of a certain age. In Japanese customs, children are three, five and seven years old, so every year on this day, children of these three ages will be particularly excited to celebrate.

Boys and girls in Sweden also have their own Children's Day. Boys' Day is on August 7th, also known as "Lobster Festival". Children should dress up as lobsters and perform programs. According to the past tradition, men will take their boys out to sea to catch lobsters every year from August 7th. If you can return home with a full load, it marks that the little boy is smart, studious and lucky in a year.

Girls' Day is in 65438+February 65438+March, also called "Lucia Goddess Day". Lucia is the legendary goddess who protects girls. In festivals, girls dress up as goddesses and do good deeds for children.

United States:

The girl wrote to Clinton.

Children's Day has just started.

In the United States, individual states or some church organizations have their own "Children's Day", but there is no unified national Children's Day for a long time. In 2000, a 4-year-old girl wrote a letter to Bill Clinton, then president, asking if he could have a Children's Day. To this end, Clinton announced that 65438+10.8 was designated as Children's Day. It was not until 200 1 that President George W. Bush designated June 3rd as "National Children's Day" and announced that the first Sunday in June would be "National Children's Day" every year thereafter.

But like other European countries, American Children's Day rarely organizes social public celebrations. Many parents think that there is no need to arrange Children's Day in the United States, because there are too many festivals that make children happy all year round, and there are also many activities for play and entertainment. Every day is like a festival.

Germany:

There are great differences between the East and the West.

During the Cold War, East Germany and West Germany did completely different things on Children's Day. First, the dates are different: East Germany is scheduled for June 1, and West Germany is scheduled for September 20th; Its name is also different: East Germany is called "International Children's Day" and West Germany is called "World Children's Day". In addition, there are differences in the traditions of festivals.

In the former East Germany, Children's Day began at 1950, and then every June 1, which was the happiest day of the year for children. They often receive blessings and gifts from their parents, and special celebrations, such as outings, are also held in the school. In the Federal Republic of Germany, there is no large-scale celebration of Children's Day, but in the name of "Children's Day" to remind people to pay attention to protecting children's rights and interests, so many people can't remember the specific day of Children's Day.

Thailand:

The children visited the government building.

Children's Day in Thailand is scheduled for the second Saturday of June 5438+ 10 every year. On that day, the government and some non-governmental organizations will hold celebrations for children. Every year, the Thai Prime Minister usually sets a theme for Children's Day. Many government offices will also be opened on the same day, including government buildings, parliament buildings and some military institutions. Some institutions also hold exhibitions, which parents and children can visit. In the Thai government building, children have the opportunity to visit the Prime Minister's office and sit in the chair where the Prime Minister usually sits. The Thai Air Force often invites children to visit military aircraft on Children's Day.
