Global Day of Parents

June 1 is the United Nations Global Day of Parents.

The next date is June 1, 2027. Dates follow Mountain Time, America/Denver. Stories below are from the archive.

How to take part

Free and safe. No fee, no student email, and no trip taken alone.

  • Do one chore without being asked.
  • Say thank you for a specific job, such as a ride or a packed lunch.
  • If a parent is far away, a drawing is enough. Do not post a child's photo.

For classrooms

A short prompt for a teacher to use with children. This page is for adults.

Write a thank-you to any adult who helps raise children, including guardians, grandparents, and teachers. Do not require a parent to be the subject.

More stories a teacher can read aloud are in the Kids section.
