Inauguration Day

21

Jan

Inauguration Day is a special day in the United States when a new President starts their job. It usually happens on January 20th, but if that day falls on a Sunday, it is celebrated on January 21st. People gather to watch the President take an important promise called the oath, where they vow to do their best to lead the country. This event takes place in Washington, D.C., at a big building called the Capitol. After the swearing-in, there are often parades, speeches, and celebrations. It's an exciting time that marks the beginning of a new leadership for the nation.

How to celebrate Inauguration Day?

Start your day with a big breakfast to kick off the celebration. Hang up red, white, and blue decorations at home. Make your own mini parade with friends or family in the backyard, waving small flags. Watch the inauguration ceremony on TV if it's happening that year. Dress up in patriotic colors, and sing songs about America. Play fun games like a treasure hunt for tiny hidden flags. Try making a craft, like drawing or painting something patriotic. Enjoy a family picnic with sandwiches and yummy snacks. As the day ends, write down what you loved most about the celebration.
