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.
The day is celebrated in all states of the US on May 19.
All the people with the name Ray (in any part of their name) can celebrate the day. You can also celebrate this day with all the rays of sunshine in your lives.
The day was founded in 1977 by the Broadway Residence.
Comedian Richard Ankli started the day to remember his brother Ray, who was born on May 19.
May marks the turn of winter clothing into summer clothing. May means it's time to welcome the sun back into the sky and get out. Read more about May Ray below.
On this day, get yourself outdoors, go for a walk or jog to the beach, or do whatever you can do to breathe in the warm fresh air. If planning a day-long trip is hard, there is always a time for a lunch or dinner party or even a small picnic with your family or friends at a nearby park and just lay in the sun.
Some countries even hold month-long harvest and music festivals. So, pack your backpacks and plan your trip straight to those festivals on May 19.
While embracing the warm breath, don't forget to post your sun-filled activity on social media and use the hashtags #NationalMayRayDay.
It is the best day for a picnic with family and friends. It can lighten your mood. But, if you have your garden, put on those gardening gloves, get out your rusty tools, and plant something to celebrate life, growth, and rebirth.
When the sun is up, invite your Ray friends and buddies over for a breakfast or lunch party. The day reminds us to soak up some sun, so, on this day, do the same things you would do on a sunny day, but indoors.
The founder of Ray Day is also the founder of Welcome Giving Day. The day is celebrated in November.
Just like May Ray Day, it encourages people to get out and embrace the sunlight. The emerald, the birthstone of May (as per Greek mythology), symbolizes rebirth and fertility.
May Ray Day, created by Richard Ankli for his brother, is actually the birth date of Ray.
To celebrate the day, you need to get yourself out of the house and soak yourself up in the sun's rays.
May Ray Day is observed on May 19 to celebrate all the rays of sunshine in your life.
The day is a great deal to many people and cultures as it indicates the marking of the true end of winter and the rise of a warm summer.
May Ray is all about celebrating your ray of sunshine and welcoming the warm May blossoms. Sun Day was started to promote the experience of exchanging experiences about the possibilities of solar power between cities and countries.
The day was created by Richard Ankli at the Broadway residence in honor of his brother Ray in 1977. Now, the day is celebrated to honor the rays of sunshine in your life.
The day can be celebrated in honor of your sweet buddies and enjoy some time under the sun's rays.
