Commonwealth Day is a special day celebrated on the second Monday of March by countries that are part of a group called the Commonwealth. This group has 56 countries, like Canada, Australia, and India, that were mostly once part of the British Empire. On this day, people celebrate their friendship and shared values, like trying to make the world a better place. Schools and communities might have fun activities, and sometimes there's a big celebration in London with the Royal Family. It's a day to think about working together and helping each other, no matter where we live.
How to celebrate Commonwealth Day?
Start the day by making and decorating flags from different Commonwealth countries. Have a fun quiz with your friends or family about these countries.

Create a craft project that represents something unique about a Commonwealth country. Call or write to a friend or family member living in a Commonwealth country.
