International Girls Day: How Did You Celebrate?
International Girls Day was this past Sunday, and it was all about girls like YOU! Learn more about it from this blog post we wrote last week, then tell us if you celebrated, and how you did!
Being a girl can be tough! You’ve got a million things on your mind, including trying to fit in, dealing with friends, and managing school and all your other activities. Sometimes it’s hard to just sit back and focus on you!
That’s why we’re celebrating International Girls Day, and we want you to, too! International Girls Day is this Sunday, November 14...and it’s all about taking the time to appreciate YOU! It’s a day to realize that, while no two girls are exactly the same, you’re all still amazing no matter where you’re from or what your differences might be!
So this Sunday, take a moment to focus on you, or spend the day recognizing the special girls in your life in these fun ways:
Girls
- Make cards for your friends encouraging them to reach for the stars!
- Take time to think about your strengths and goals...or do this with a group of friends. Think about what you’re good at and what you love to do. Maybe you can brainstorm future careers based on your strengths, or ways to contribute to your community...or even the world!
- Spend time focusing on your favorite hobby or starting a new one! Take up cooking or try gardening...you can do anything!
Parents & Other Adults
-
If you’re a parent, plan a special day for just you and your girl or girls! How about a mani/pedi outing?
A day at the movies followed by lunch? A trip to her favorite museum or park? - Sometimes intimate moments are the most inspiring! Talk to your daughter or a girl in your life about your experiences growing up. Let her know what you think her strengths are. If your daughter is athletic, take her to a women’s sporting event or let her teach you about her favorite sport!These things will help inspire her and create confidence!
International Girls Day is sponsored by Kappa Delta and their Confidence Coalition! For more information on this celebration, or more fun ways you can celebrate, please visit their official site here.

Hi girls!I did not knew about iternational girls day.I have a few words to say about how special we are.Girls have to go through changes in life that we can’t even explain ,but no matter what we will always stay strong.On this wonderful day it’s our time to have fun,get together,and be proud about ourselves.There is no one in the whole wide world that is just like you.You are a wonderful person and that what make each girl special. I would like to give a special thanks to every girl in the world to say strong,have fun,and be proud.I would also like to give a special thanks to DG you had helped us all the way to teach us these things.Peace out !God bless you everyone. Luv ya all girls were like sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!International Girls Day <3
I think that this idea is awesome but it’s one day of the year where girls all around the world are celebrated. I agree with DG that it is tough being a girl because of everything we go through and do in our entire lives. That’s one reason why I like the fact that DG is just one simple way for girls from around the age of 7 and up are able to express and share what it’s like to be a GIRL! GIRLS RULE <3 =DSo Cool!!!
I never knew that there was an International Girls Day! I hope I get to do something special with just me and my mom. Good Luck to all of the other girls out there and have an awesome International Girls Day! :)international girls day
Wow, I never knew about this, but I think its a really great idea!! I’m going to take DG’s advice and send cards to all my friends.AWESOME!!!!
