in Poland Children's Day is June 1st. But not any particularly Boy or Girl day. In night between 21 and 22 June is tradicional Feast of fire, water, sun and moon, harvest, fertility, happiness and love called Kupala's Night (pl. Noc Kupały). Unfortunately 14 february Valentine's Day is most popular recently

In the USA, according to Wikipedia, Children's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in June. But, you would probably not see evidence of it.

My second grade class and I enjoyed your video. The second time we watched the video, we got all the questions correct! We learned new facts and we are excited to make our own Carp Fish decorations!

There is nothing like that in England... there is a mothers day and fathers day so kids are forced to wait untill they are older... its something that they look forward to from a young age though :)

I felt so proud that I had never heard of this holiday, but was still able to guess all the answers correctly!

In Romania, Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 and children receive gifts from their families. There are a lot of festivities performed by groups of children that day. It's a lovely celebration.

It's also on the same day as cinco de mayo

What a beatiful celebration :) had inspiring me to make some character based in this. My dreams is to be a great Comic illustrator and writter, with a style similar to manga... so this is very helpful.

Thanks!

In my family, Birthdays are considered a sign of good luck and is celibrated more then usual families. Birthdays to us mean that we have grown and lived for a whole year, and we wish for another good year! Usualy, the people ware what they wore a lot that year, then after the celibration, you throw it out because all the luck has worn off after that time.Boys usualy 'party harder' then the girls do for their bithday, expecialy is true for a boys 21st birthday. A girls is more laid back:)
