How to celebrate Liberation Day?

Start the day with a fun breakfast with your family, like pancakes with syrup! Then, you can make colorful crafts, like flags or drawings, to decorate your home. In the afternoon, join your friends or family for a parade or concert. You can also play games outside, like hide and seek or tag. If you feel creative, write a short story or poem about freedom and share it with others. In the evening, enjoy a special dinner with your favorite foods.
