5 fun ways to celebrate Canada Day
Do you want to celebrate Canada on July 1? On top of participating in local events, you could observe the day with family and friends. Here are some inspiring ideas. 1. Forehead name game. Write the names of famous Canadians, like politicians, athletes and musicians, on sticky notes and stick them to each other’s foreheads. Each person must try to guess who they are by asking yes and no questions. 2. Canadian potluck. Buying local is essential to your community’s economic vitality. Invite your family and friends over for a potluck that exclusively features food and drinks produced in the country. 3. Crafts contest. Enjoy some friendly competition with arts and crafts done in small teams. The goal is to create artwork symbolic of Canada, such as a beaver, the Rocky Mountains or a maple leaf. Take a vote to decide on the winner and hand out little prizes — made in Canada, of course! 4. Sing or dance to local music. There are plenty of Canadian music artists whose songs inspire the urge to cut a rug or sing along at top volume. Make a winning Canadian playlist and crank it up! 5. Typical Canadian sport. Work off that extra energy in good company by organizing a lacrosse or hockey mini-tourney — make it ball hockey if you don’t have access to a rink. After the games, gather around a barbecue to celebrate. How will you celebrate Canada Day?
