Happy World Theatre Day!

Hey readers,

Today is World Theatre Day! People all over the globe celebrate this special day, and so can you. Check out these fun and creative activities you can do at home with your family.

• Freeze Frame: With your family members, pick a scene from a movie, show, or history and create a tableau. A tableau is when a group of people strike a pose to reenact a scene. (See how long you can hold still like a statue!)
• Trust Exercise: Team up with a friend or family member and stand in an open area. Have one person fall into the other’s arms, trusting to be caught!
• Copycat: Grab a friend and play the mirror game. Stand facing each other, and have one person act out a scenario, and the other person has to mirror what they are doing.

Bravo!

Celebrate Pink Shirt Day

Hey readers,

Every year on February 26, many people wear pink to help raise awareness and stand up against bullying.

This year’s Pink Shirt Day encourages us to think about how we can say “no” to bullying and say “yes” to uplifting one another.

Whether it’s saying kind words or helping out a friend, there are many ways to celebrate Pink Shirt Day all year long.

If you are being bullied or see someone getting bullied, always tell an adult you trust to help put a stop to it.

Are you wearing pink today?  Let us know in the comments.
