Key concepts students will learn:

  • Egyptians started birthday celebrations around 3000 B.C. when they believed that being crowned meant they were transformed and ‘birthed’ into gods.

  • In India and Nepal, a baby's head is shaved on their first birthday to symbolize cleansing and renewal, while in Japan, children who become 3, 5, or 7 participate in ‘Shichi-Go-Son’.

  • In Latin-American countries, a girl's 15th birthday marks the beginning of womanhood with ‘quinceañera’ celebrations, while in the USA & Canada, it is the ‘sweet sixteen’.

  • In the UK, the Queen and in the USA, the President, send messages of congratulations to all 100-year-olds on their special birthday.
