National Dance Like A Chicken Day And Decency Day.

Today is National Dance Like A Chicken Day and National Decency Day!

National Dance Like A Chicken Day is a day to get up and have fun and move. It gets people doing the chicken dance all day. The chicken dance is a song from the 1950s by Swiss accordionist Werner Thomas, but it did not become popular in the US until the 1970s. People believe the song was originally written to be a drinking song at Oktoberfest. The song is now popular at weddings and Oktoberfest.

National Decency Day is a day to celebrate the respect all people deserve. It was started by a non-partisan grassroots group, DECENCY. It was started to promote decency in conversation and actions. DECENCY is about ABC: Active listening, Better understanding, and Compassion. This is a day for us all to be better role models for children, by showing children how to be decent.

You can celebrate these days with your families. Set up video calls with your families to get together and do the chicken dance! Have a competition to see who can do the best chicken dance or who can do the chicken dance for the longest. While you’re on this video call with your family talk about decency too. What does decency mean? How can we all be more decent to others everyday? Talk about this with your families today and implement them into your life from now on.
