Thesaurus Day

18

Jan

Thesaurus Day is a fun celebration on January 18th that honors Peter Mark Roget, who created the thesaurus. A thesaurus is like a special book filled with words and their synonyms, which are words that have similar meanings. It helps people find different words to express themselves better. On Thesaurus Day, people might play word games, learn new words, or try using synonyms in their writing or speaking. It's a day to be creative with language and discover the many ways we can describe things. This makes talking and writing more interesting and colorful!

How to celebrate Thesaurus Day?

To celebrate Thesaurus Day, grab a thesaurus and pick a fun word. Then, look for similar words, called synonyms. Try using these new words in a story or poem you write. You can also play a word game with friends where you say a word and others guess its synonyms. Draw pictures of the word and its synonyms to make a colorful word poster. Challenge yourself to use at least three new words throughout your day. Finally, share your favorite newfound words with your family during dinner, and see who can make the silliest sentence using them.
