1 Some holidays are for fun, like Halloween, but fun in the dark and near fireworks needs safety rules: an adult with you, organised displays and no fireworks in a child's hands. 2 Other days are quiet and serious, like Remembrance Day and Anzac Day, when people stand still and silent to remember the soldiers who died in wars. 3 Classmates may celebrate Christmas, Diwali, Eid, Hanukkah or Lunar New Year, and every family's traditions deserve the same respect. 4 A girl in Ohio goes trick-or-treating with her dad, knocks only where the porch light is on, and lets him check her sweets before she eats any. 5 On Halloween, 31 October, children go trick-or-treating with an adult, because it is dark and there is traffic, and visit only houses with their lights on. 6 Treats from trick-or-treating are checked by an adult before they are eaten. 7 Bonfire Night in the UK is on 5 November, and fireworks are best watched at organised displays, where trained people let them off while the crowd stands well back; a firework found on the ground afterwards may still go off, so leave it and tell an adult. 8 Fireworks and sparklers can cause bad burns; a sparkler burns much hotter than a candle flame. 9 Children never touch fireworks or sparklers on the Fourth of July or any day without an adult supervising; a sparkler is held in a gloved hand at arm's length. 10 St Patrick's Day, 17 March, is Ireland's national day, honouring its patron saint (the saint believed to look after the country) with parades and green clothes. 11 Anzac Day, 25 April, in Australia and New Zealand remembers the soldiers who died in wars, with dawn services and a minute's silence. 12 Remembrance Day, 11 November, honours those who died in wars with a two-minute silence, and many people wear a red poppy. 13 During a memorial silence you stand still and stay quiet. 15 When classmates celebrate Christmas, Diwali, Eid, Hanukkah or Lunar New Year, you are respectful of their traditions. 16 Presents are received with gratitude, and not every family can afford many presents. 17 A boy in Florida held a lit sparkler and waved it near his sister's dress on the Fourth of July; the dress caught fire, and she had burns on her leg. 18 A girl in England put her Christmas tree lights next to curtains; they overheated and started a small fire that filled the room with smoke. 19 Sparklers burn hotter than a cooking flame and are one of the main causes of firework injuries in children. 20 Holiday decorations, candles and lights cause many house fires every year. ← previous Routines, screen time and earning moneynext → Walking on the pavement and crossing roads↑ back to Everyday This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/everyday/265-holidays-of-the-region/
