At the International Conference on Child Welfare held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1925, the International Association for the Promotion of Children's Happiness first proposed the concept of "Children's Day", calling on countries to establish their own children's memorial days. The initiative has been endorsed by many countries around the world.

1) Russia
Everyone knows that the Russian state is our friendliest neighbour; in November 1949, the International Democratic Women's Federation held a council meeting in Moscow. In order to guarantee the right to survival, health care and education of children around the world and to improve their lives, the Conference decided to designate 1 June as International Children's Day.

Russian Children's Day and International Festival are completely "in tune" with each other, just on June 1. Whenever Children's Day comes, children all over Russia celebrate their holidays with joy, perform folk songs and dances, and celebrate in schools.
2) Singapore
Singapore Children's Day, in the first article of Singapore's holiday regulations, stipulates that children's day on October 1 is not only a holiday for children, but also for all adults. The reason is that if only children are given a holiday, adults go out to work, no one plays with children, and poor children can only watch TV at home on Children's Day. In addition, Singapore is a particularly welfare country, but its population is small, and this children's day regulation also helps to promote young people who love to vacation and get more vacations by having more children.
What's more interesting is that Singapore's largest national playground also has a special rule for Children's Day, on which children buy a full ticket and adults buy half a ticket. In this way, not only let the children experience the feeling of being a little adult once, but also let the adults regain the long-lost childhood time. Moreover, because of this special rule, there has been an anecdote that makes Singaporeans laugh.
3) Japan
Japanese Children's Day is the country that celebrates Children's Day the most times in the world, they celebrate Children's Day three times a year, and the way of celebrating it is very interesting, full of strong Japanese style.
◆ Girls' Day on March 3 This festival is specially set up for little girls, and on this day, parents with daughters in the family will set up a display table at home, and on the stage are beautiful female doll dolls wearing Japanese kimonos as a holiday gift for their daughters.
◆ Boys' Day, May 5 On the day of the festival, families with sons hang "carp flags" in front of their doors, which means carp jumping the dragon gate. Carp flags are cut from cloth or satin into "hollow carps" and are divided into three colors: black, red and blue. Black represents the father; red represents the mother; blue represents the boy himself. There were a few boys in the house, and a few blue flags were hung at the door. The more blue flags, the more buddies in this family. In the Japanese mind, carp symbolizes strength and courage.
◆ November 15th "753" Children's Day In Japanese customs, three years old, five years old and seven years old are the three years when children are particularly lucky, so on this day every year, they are celebrated for children of these three ages. On this day, children will wear the best traditional kimono and carry a small paper bag with pine trees, turtles or cranes on their backs filled with candy and toys bought by their parents.

Children's Day in Korea evolved from "Boys' Day" in 1923. It is also a public holiday in South Korea, on May 5 every year.

In addition, Brazil's "Day of the Apparition of the Virgin" on October 12 is also often celebrated as Children's Day, with some celebrations.
6) United Kingdom
In August 1925, representatives of 54 countries held the "International Congress of Children's Happiness" in Geneva, Switzerland, and adopted the Geneva Declaration on the Guarantee of Children. The Declaration makes fervent appeals to the enjoyment of the spirit of children, relief for children in need and access to livelihood opportunities for children. After the General Assembly, governments have successively set up their own "Children's Day" to inspire children, make them feel great, happy and joyful, and make the community attach importance to and love children. The UK government has designated 14 July as Children's Day in the UK.
7) Germany
During the Cold War, East and West Germany practiced Children's Day very differently. First, the dates are different: East Germany is set for June 1 and West Germany is set for September 20; its names are also different: East Germany is called "Internationaler Kindertag", and West Germany is called "Weltkindertag". In addition, there is a difference in the traditions of festivals.
In the GDR, Children's Day began in 1950 and has been the happiest day of the year for children every year thereafter. They often receive blessings and gifts from their parents, and special celebrations such as outings are held at school. In the Federal Republic of Germany, Children's Day has no special significance, and many people are not even aware of its existence.
With the reunification of Germany in 1990, the dates and names of Children's Day in West Germany became the official standards for all of Germany. In many parts of East Germany, however, it was still impossible to change old habits and appellations. Therefore, on June 1 every year, many parents still celebrate the arrival of Children's Day with their children.
