Lazy Day
August 10th is officially a Lazy Day. It’s been rumored that the creators of this day were going to get congress to declare August 10th officially as Lazy Day. However, before they got it done, they went into relaxation mode so the day is an undocumented celebration. Actually, you will notice that it is Lazy Day, not Lazy People Day. This is because by this time of each year, summer heat has settled in, and if you live near water or on the east coast, you also have a great deal of humidity that makes the day seem even lazier. So, enjoy this lazy day. Swing in a hammock, read a book, sit by the pool or on the beach—in other words, take a time out and r-e-l-a-x—this is not the day to do something, it is, in fact, a lazy day.
Activity for kids…
Have the kids brainstorm all of the things they would like to do on a Lazy Day. Create a group list and then have the students work in small groups to weave all of the items into one, 24 hour Lazy Day. When the groups are finished, have them share with the remainder of the class.
