Forefathers' Day is a special day celebrated on December 22 to remember the Pilgrims who arrived on the ship called the Mayflower. These Pilgrims came from England to America a long time ago, in 1620. They wanted to find a new place to live where they could practice their own religion. The Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock, in what is now Massachusetts. Forefathers' Day is a way to honor their courage and the beginning of their new life in America. People celebrate by sharing stories about the Pilgrims and sometimes having a special meal.
How to celebrate Forefathers Day?
Celebrate Forefathers' Day by having a special family meal together. You can make or eat some traditional dishes that your ancestors might have enjoyed. Talk to your family about stories or fun facts about your great-grandparents or other relatives from the past. You could also make a family tree with drawings and notes to learn more about your heritage. Play games or do activities that your ancestors liked. If you want, visit a local museum to see old things from history. End the day with a special thank you for your family's history and the cool stories you've learned.
