5 National Pride Month Celebration Ideas To Do With Kids: Embracing Love and Acceptance 

National Pride Month is a time of celebration, inclusivity, and acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community. It is also an excellent opportunity to teach children about the values of love, diversity, and equality. As a kids’ party venue that values inclusivity and family togetherness, we are excited to share 5 fun ideas on how you can celebrate National Pride Month with your children and create lasting memories as a family.

Attend Family-Friendly Pride Events:

Many cities organize family-friendly Pride events and parades during National Pride Month. These events often feature activities, performances, and exhibits that are appropriate for children. Check local event listings and plan a day out with your family. Attend a pride parade, enjoy live music, engage in arts and crafts activities, and embrace the joyful atmosphere. It’s a fantastic opportunity to expose children to diverse communities and celebrate love and acceptance together.

Read LGBTQ+ Inclusive Children’s Books:

Books have a powerful way of introducing children to different perspectives and promoting empathy and understanding. Explore LGBTQ+ inclusive children’s books that depict diverse families, gender identities, and relationships. Share stories that celebrate love and acceptance with your children, sparking conversations about the importance of inclusivity and respecting others’ differences. Some popular titles include “Julian Is a Mermaid” by Jessica Love and “And Tango Makes Three” by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell.

Create Pride Crafts and Decorations:

Engage your children’s creativity by creating pride-themed crafts and decorations. Work together to make rainbow banners, posters, or paper chains. Decorate your home with pride flags, colorful streamers, and balloons. These crafts can serve as visual reminders of the values of love, acceptance, and diversity. Encourage your children to proudly display their creations, fostering a sense of pride and inclusivity.

Watch LGBTQ+ Inclusive Movies and TV Shows:

There are several age-appropriate movies and TV shows that celebrate LGBTQ+ themes and characters. Sit down as a family and watch films such as “Kubo and the Two Strings” or “The Prom,” or enjoy TV shows like “Steven Universe” or “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.” These stories can help children understand and appreciate diverse identities, families, and relationships, while promoting empathy and acceptance.

Support LGBTQ+ Charities and Causes:

National Pride Month is an excellent time to teach children about the importance of supporting others. Research LGBTQ+ charities and organizations that promote equality and support the community. Involve your children in fundraising activities, such as a lemonade stand or a bake sale, to raise money for these causes. Adding rainbow sprinkles on the brownies would make them festive. This hands-on experience will empower them to make a positive impact and understand the value of supporting marginalized communities.

National Pride Month offers a valuable opportunity for families to celebrate love, acceptance, and diversity. By engaging in family-friendly Pride events, reading inclusive books, creating crafts, and watching LGBTQ+ inclusive media, you can teach your children about the importance of embracing differences and fostering an inclusive society.
