Children's Day in Singapore

Children's Day in Singapore is a special day dedicated to celebrating the joys of childhood and recognizing the importance of children in society. Traditionally, it is celebrated on the first Friday of October.

History

Children's Day was first declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954 to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. While many countries observe this day on November 20th, Singapore has its own designated date.

Traditions

On Children's Day, schools typically organize festivities and fun activities for students such as games, performances, or parties. The celebration often involves teachers putting up special performances for their students or organizing class parties with food, movies, and leisure activities. It is a day when education takes a more relaxed approach with an emphasis on fun.

Activities

  • School Celebrations: Most celebrations occur in schools where children are treated to performances or given small gifts.
  • Family Time: Families may take the opportunity to spend quality time together, with parents often planning outings or special treats for their children.
  • Community Events: Community centers and commercial entities might also host events catered toward family entertainment.
  • Public Recognition: Media and public institutions often use this day to advocate for children’s rights and welfare.

Children's Day serves as a reminder for adults about the well-being of their young ones, fostering an environment that supports their growth into happy and healthy members of society.
