June 2024 Daily Holidays & Observances – Printable Calendar

How to Use the Calendar For Your Program

We have listed the daily holidays or observances that fall on each day of the month. Some days have multiple holidays, so you can choose to focus on just one, plan an activity for each one, or combine them if possible.

For example, June 20th is National Seashell Day and the First Day of Summer. Plan a day for kids to complete some nautical crafts at home. Students can color their own seashells, create an ocean themed sensory tube, design their own message in a bottle, create seashell sand art, and more! Check out our Nautical Themed activities here.

Nautical Themed Crafts & Activities For Your Program

For another simple example, June 5th is Hot Air Balloon Day and World Environment Day. As a collaborative art activity, have kids work on this sticker mosaic for the whole week. Prepare a short virtual lesson plan on the impact these balloons have on the environment, and compare the emmision of fossil fuel for different vehicles and buildings.

The 2nd full week in June includes National Making Life Beautiful Day, National Superman Day, National Children’s Day, Fly A Kite Day, and Global Wind Day. Plan a weeks of fun crafts and activities to celebrate kids and how they can make life beautiful through art, learning, and laughter!

Have students decorate their own kites with the superhero symbols, or any design that they find beautiful. They can also decorate their own fans. Plan a day to spend outside where they can use the fans and fly their kites. In honor of Global Wind Day, teach students about the power of wind energy. We’ve shared some great craft  ideas below:

If you are just looking for some filler ideas or last minute ideas, refer to the calendar on any particular day and come up with a quick lesson or activity related to the daily holiday or observance. Some of these can even be used for brain breaks.
