Years ago I heard about a leader that would greet her staff with “Happy National ______ Day!” and hand them a piece of gum, sticker, or a small token to go along with the holiday. I could imagine walking into her building with an expectation of celebrating something fun no matter how small…or how momentary.
Different and fun…my two reasons for the creation of the “Bizarre and FUN National Holidays” files. A great way to celebrate, motivate, and boost staff morale!
With my Bizarre and FUN Holiday files, you have almost 100 holidays to choose from throughout the calendar year. Share as many activities with your staff as you choose during each month to coincide with your regular schedule of events. Make it as simple or as WILD as you want!
Here are a few examples: (To see what is included in each file, look for the previews in my shop)
Ready-To-Go Cards
Print and pass them out. The messages, poems, and sayings shower your staff with appreciation. We know that if you treat your employees like they make a difference, they will! (Examples from National Flashlight Day & National Picnic Month)
Print and Fold:
(Examples from National Toast Day & National Random Acts of Kindness Day)
Cut-Out and Attach to an Object:
(Examples from National Watermelon Day, National Button Day, National Paper Bag Day, National Two Different Colored Shoes Day)
Add Food Items:
Several of the holiday files include banners, invitations, print-outs for food bars, recipe cards, etc.! HINT: Many of the holidays, like Doughnut Day, can be celebrated ANY day of the year. (Examples from National Oreo Cookie Day, National Popcorn Day, National Doughnut Day, National Chocolate Cookie Day)
Games, hats…and much more!
(Example from National Dice Day and National Elephant Appreciation Day) Be sure and check out the previews for details of each holiday in my shop.
Take out the mundane and add the unexpected at your workplace. Celebrate with your staff a Bizarre and FUN National holiday. Holidays are sold individually, bundled by month (on sale), or in 3-month mega bundles (for the biggest price-saver ever!). Check out the details by clicking on the months.

p.s. If you don’t get around to celebrating everything in the bundles, don’t worry! All files are updated every year (I’ve been doing it for years!) and will be ready when you need them.
p.s.s. Remember, many of the holidays can be celebrated ANY day of the year (think donuts, popcorn, and pizza!).
