Radio Day

7

May

Radio Day on May 7th celebrates the invention of the radio, a special tool that lets us hear music and voices from far away. People remember how radio changed the world by making it easier to share news and stories. It honors the hard work of those who made the first radios and those who create radio shows we listen to today. Radio Day helps us appreciate how we can connect with others and learn new things through sound, even over long distances, just like a magic box of sounds.

How to celebrate Radio Day?

On Radio Day, start by listening to your favorite radio station with your family. Play a fun game where everyone tries to guess the songs on the radio. Make radio crafts by creating your own pretend radio using a shoebox. Have a radio trivia contest by asking each other questions about different radio shows or songs. You could also record your own radio show. Pretend to be a DJ and play music, tell jokes, or share stories with your family. To finish the day, enjoy a picnic while listening to a portable radio playing your favorite tunes. It's super fun!
