Three Children’s Birthday Activities
Children’s birthday parties are usually fun, with lots of fun games such as Pin the Tail on the Donkey, musical seats, hitting pinatas, etc. Adult birthday parties are more formal and usually involve a big dinner at a restaurant. No matter what age, the purpose of these parties is to make the birthday person feel very happy.
American children’s birthday customs
1. Sing Happy Birthday
When Americans gather to celebrate a birthday, they are sure to happily sing Happy Birthday in unison. The original title of the song, Good Morning, was written in the late 19th century by two American sisters who were engaged in early childhood education. They wrote the song with a simple melody and lyrics that even a three-year-old could rattle off.
2. Spanking on your birthday
In the United States, faking a spanking on a child’s birthday is a way for many adults to express good wishes. It means to wish the child good luck and grow up quickly.
3. Birthday cake and birthday candles
With each birthday, Americans celebrate not only getting a year older but also the passing of another year, so the candle is a symbol of both life and death, as well as hope and fear.
Conclusion
When a birthday person makes a wish on a candle, he/she is asking for divine protection for good luck. When the birthday person blows out the candles, he or she wishes he or she had control over whatever is about to happen to him or her.
