9. Watch a Memorial Day Parade
Many communities in the United States hold Memorial Day parades. Watching a parade can help children see the holiday as a community event.
Kids often enjoy the music, marching bands, and flags. Before going, explain that the parade honors people who served the country.
If there is no parade nearby, families can even create a small one at home. Kids can decorate bikes, wagons, or scooters with streamers and flags and march around the yard.
This keeps the holiday fun while still connected to its purpose.
