Mar
Youth Day on 21 March is a special day to celebrate and remember young people's role in making South Africa fair and equal. On this day in 1960, many young people stood up against unfair laws that treated people differently based on their skin color. It happened in a place called Sharpeville, and even though it was a difficult day, it helped change the country for the better. Now, on Youth Day, we remember those brave young people and think about how important it is for everyone to be treated equally and to work towards a better future.
How to celebrate Youth Day?
On Youth Day, start by gathering your friends and playing fun games outside, like soccer or a treasure hunt. You could also make colorful arts and crafts together. Invite everyone to share their favorite songs and dance around to the music. In the afternoon, plan a picnic with tasty snacks like sandwiches, fruit, and cookies. Draw pictures or write notes about what you dream of doing when you grow up. Help plant a tree or flowers in the garden to make the world more beautiful. End the day by watching a fun movie or reading a story about young heroes.
