Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, is a celebration held on November 5th in the UK. It remembers a man named Guy Fawkes who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. People celebrate by lighting big bonfires and setting off fireworks. Some also make stuffed figures called "guys" to burn on the bonfire, representing Guy Fawkes. The night is fun and exciting, with families and friends gathering to enjoy the bright lights and warm fires. Traditional treats include toffee apples and hot drinks, which make the chilly November evening more enjoyable.

How to celebrate Bonfire Night?

On Bonfire Night, you can have lots of fun with friends and family. Start by building a big, safe bonfire in a clear space, making sure an adult is in charge. Toast marshmallows and enjoy hot chocolate to keep warm. Watch a spectacular firework display, but make sure to stand at a safe distance and cover your ears if it's too loud. You can even hold sparklers and write your name in the air with glowing trails. If you like, tell funny stories or sing songs around the fire. Just remember to stay safe and enjoy the colorful night!
