Celebrate International Lefthanders Day and show your support for lefties everywhere - join us in recognizing the special gifts they bring to the world!
Let’s all come together and celebrate International Lefthanders Day on August 13! It has been celebrated annually since 1976, when it was first created to recognize the struggles of left-handed people in a world that is designed for right-handers. This day gives us an opportunity to appreciate our unique abilities and show support for those who are left-handed.
Invite all your left-handed friends to a special celebration in honor of International Lefthanders Day. Serve food that can be eaten with the left hand, like sandwiches and wraps.
Go to your favorite amusement park and indulge in rides designed for lefties. Most amusement parks have special rides that are designed to take advantage of the strengths of lefties.
Gather some supplies, like construction paper, glue, and scissors, and make some crafts specifically for lefthanders. You can even invite your right handed friends to join in on the fun.
If you're looking for something a bit more educational, search for a local instructor who can teach you how to write with your left hand. There are plenty of resources online as well as classes in most major cities.
Pick up a new hobby or activity that is designed for lefthanders, such as playing guitar or tennis with the left hand, or using left handed scissors to cut paper. It's a great way to celebrate International Lefthanders Day.
Left handed people make up around 10% of the population, making them a rare and unique minority. Those who are left handed often have to struggle to live in a right handed world - so it's nice to have a day dedicated to celebrating their uniqueness!
Left handed people can be particularly creative individuals due to the unique way they interact with the world. Often times they think outside the box and find new ways of looking at problems and solutions. It's no wonder why many famous artists, musicians and actors are lefties!
By highlighting International Lefthanders Day, we're reminded that everyone is different - but equally as important. We can all come together to understand each other better and appreciate those traits that make us all unique individuals.
