404 Day, on April 4th, is a special day that reminds people to think about internet freedom and privacy. It's called "404" because that's the error message you see when a webpage can't be found. People use this day to talk about keeping the internet open and safe, so everyone can access information without unfair rules. 404 Day is important because it helps teach us that everyone should be able to use the internet freely and safely, without anyone controlling what we can see or do online. It's about making sure the internet stays fair for everyone.

How to celebrate 404 Day?

Gather your friends for a fun day pretending to be digital detectives! Start by playing games like hide and seek, where the hidden person becomes '404.' Create a scavenger hunt around your house or garden, with clues leading to a mystery treat. You could also bake 404-shaped cookies and enjoy them together. Watch a funny movie about computers or the internet with your family. For craft time, draw robots or computers with "404" signs for decorations. Share jokes or silly stories about things going "missing" or being "not found' to keep everyone giggling. End the day with a small dance party!
