At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This special day, dedicated to calling a friend or a close person is celebrated across the United States of America. This day is undoubtedly one of the best ways to spend the holiday season.
National Call A Friend Day can be celebrated by just about anyone. From kids to adults, anyone can pick up the phone or video chat with a loved one to connect with the ones they miss.
The history of this day remains quite murky, as no one really knows when this day started. Nevertheless, with the advancement of technology, it has become quite easy to get in touch with both new friends and old friends. Even then, most people cannot take the time out of their hectic schedule to connect with their loved ones. Hence, with this day on the calendar during the holiday season, everyone will have the perfect excuse to get in touch with friends and families through phone calls or video chats.
While it is not yet known who started this day, it can be followed by people of all age groups to contact and talk to those they have been meaning to get in touch with, but haven't been able to for whatever reason.
Over the years, our methods of communication have changed and evolved. Continue reading to learn about the advancements in technology and how these have affected the way people keep in touch!
Needless to say, the most common tradition on National Call A Friend Day is calling friends, both new and old. Since this day falls annually on December 28, during the holidays and right before the new year, it is the perfect time to wish loved ones good health and let them know that they are remembered and loved.
Calling the important people in our lives is not a part of our daily routine. However, just one phone call to a family member or friend can let them know how important they are in our lives. So, the best way to celebrate this day is by making a phone call to old and new friends, family members, and other loved ones. You can also go one step ahead and arrange a party for your group of friends with whom you have lost touch over the years.
National Call A Friend Day takes place on December 28.
October 19 is dedicated to New Friends Day. This day is used to make new friends and cherish the joys of friendship.
Usually, National Friendship Day is celebrated by tying friendship bands. Additionally, people of all age groups send text messages or call their friends to remind them how much they value their friendship.
The most cost-effective advantage of National Call A Friend Day is that this day can be utilized to get in touch with a friend who lives far from your town, without having to spend money on buying tickets. Thanks to internet services, it has become quite easy to see a friend who is miles away, right in the comfort of your own home.
This day is particularly dedicated to getting in touch with friends you have lost connection with over the years. So, on this day even if you call one friend who influenced your life in one way or the other, you will be making a positive difference.
While a lot of us stay connected with our friends through texting, it is important to make the assumption that hearing someone's voice can create a lot of difference. Hence, calling a friend can leave a positive effect.
It is not known who originally directed this day. Nevertheless, this holiday is a matter of great positivity.
