Activities for Kids and Adults on International Day of Peace and World Gratitude Day

September 21 is a very special day. It’s International Day of Peace and World Gratitude Day. Both are wonderful holidays for adults and kids to observe. Today, I want to share some activities that parents and kids can do together to observe both holidays.

International Day of Peace Activities

I have lots of equality and peace resources for parents and teachers.

At Living Montessori Now, I have a post with lots of resources for singing peace around the world on the International Day of Peace (or before if the International Day of Peace is on a weekend).

At Living Montessori Now, I have a roundup post of Montessori-inspired peace education activities and a post on how to prepare a peace corner. I also have a peace unit with free peace printables and Montessori-inspired peace activities.

Education World has directions for making “pinwheels for peace” for International Day of Peace (the template link no longer works, but you can get a template for making a peace pinwheel here.)

Amy at Kids Activities Blog has a pinwheel-making activity for world peace.

Teacher Vision has a free printable peace pledge page.
