Liberation Day

25

Aug

Liberation Day on August 25 is a special day when people in Paris, France, remember a happy event from 1944. On this day, during World War II, soldiers and brave people worked together to free Paris from the control of a mean group called the Nazis. Everyone in the city was relieved and overjoyed to be free again. Today, people celebrate to honor the heroes who helped make this happen and to remember how important freedom is. They might have parades, wave flags, and feel proud of their history and those who fought for their city.

How to celebrate Liberation Day?

Start your day with a happy breakfast, maybe pancakes shaped like stars. Wear clothes in colors that remind you of freedom. Draw and color pictures about freedom, like birds flying. Have a picnic in your garden or a nearby park with family and friends. Play fun games outside, like tag or hide and seek. Later, watch a movie that talks about being free or doing good things together. You can bake cookies or cupcakes and decorate them with colorful sprinkles. As the sun sets, light a small candle to remember and feel grateful for being free and happy.
