Many fathers and mothers of families wonder how to celebrate Children’s Day in Colombia in full quarantine. Here some ideas…
Although there is an official Universal Children’s Day, promoted by Unicef and commemorated every November 20, it is also celebrated on a different date in each country; for example, in Ecuador it is the first of June, in Mexico on April 30 and in the United States on the second Sunday of June.
In our country it is celebrated on April 25, although with Law 724 of 2001 it could be celebrated on the last Saturday of April.
We have been celebrating it since 1999 in order to make the child population visible, so that adults become aware of the importance of defending their rights.
And with this quarantine, how to celebrate Children’s Day in Colombia?
Children are used to various activities that they do every year at school, in residential complexes, in shopping centers, etc. This year it’s your turn, so get to work!
Costume party
But let everyone participate, not only children, parents and other family members must also join and dress up; If they wish, they can make the costumes with things they find at home and reward the most creative.
camping at home
If you don’t have a tent, don’t worry, you can use sheets and mats and make a starry sky with cardboard cutouts.
karaoke
To sing out loud you only need to have a device to play YouTube, a grinder and put the songs with lyrics you want there.
picnic in the room
A checkered cloth, a basket with sandwiches, snacks, drinks for everyone, and that’s it! All this without leaving your home.
courtyard pool
Or in the bathroom, if you don’t have a patio or it’s very cold. You can set it up with one of those inflatable pools, and everyone go swimming!

virtual party
Summon all the little friends to a party through Zoom or one of these video call platforms and square with the parents so that everyone eats the same, that will have a lot of fun!
Mini Olympics
Put together some mini-Olympics but in a silly way, for example, a tournament of touching your nose with your tongue, shooting at the bank with plasticine, spelling the opposite or building the tallest tower with the hand you use the least.
