"time spent with children is never time wasted" -- Dawn Lantero
Children's Day is a day to celebrate children's right; their need for love, care, and their social well-being. And I would have absolutely loved celebrating Children's Day as a child. If only the states adopted this national holiday as well. A day off from school and work, spend time with children, and just celebrate their vibrant existence! Yes, please!
By the way, South Korea isn't the only country that celebrates Children's Day. Other countries such as: Australia, India, Turkey, and Japan to name a few.
I think the U.S. should just on this bandwagon as well. ;)
Here's how we celebrated Children's Day at school.

Children's Day festivities!
Turtle Crafts - For our art activity, we made candy turtle necklaces!
Children's Day Games - A lot of the games, if not all of the games we played were hands-off games.
The goal of the 'Go-Fishing' game was to have the children use only the paper plate to get their fish into the goal.
The second game we played was 'Face the Cookie', or in this case...cracker. They had to place the cracker on their forehead and wiggle their faces to eat their cracker without using their hands. Hands-down, my students' favorite game, probably because it included something they could eat. Who doesn't love playing a game they can enjoy eating as well?
We had two straw games. One was transferring marshmallows using the straw from one plate to another, and the other game was a straw and cotton ball version of foosball.
