You are the Future of the World!
Children's Day in Singapore is today, the 4th of October. For most of you, today is a day all about relaxing with your family, having fun and generally, just being a kid! Children's day falls on different days and months for countries around the world.
So even though you might be in Singapore and celebrating today, don't you think it's a wonderful idea that every day of the year could be Children's Day somewhere in the world?
We bring you a wonderful slideshow, full of images of beautiful children from around the world, just like you!
Also, check out our fun "opinion and activity' box after the slideshow.
