Kings Day
The Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy with a King and a parliament with a prime minister, like in the United Kingdom. 👑
Today our King Willem Alexander has his birthday. 🎉 On his birthday the country celebrates with a festival of one full day for everyone: Koningsdag!
It translates best as Kings Day. 🇳🇱
Because of today being Sunday the festivities were yesterday. 27th of April is his birthday.🌷
Kings Day is celebrated by free market for everyone, festivals with music, bars and restaurants open with music and drinks allowed on the street.
Our King is named Koning Willem Alexander Van Oranje (King of Orange) that is why you see so many people dressed in Orange this day and with the national sport players, teams and supporters. Proud of our recognizeable orange colour. 🧡
The King and his family visit a different town each year and celebrate there with parade, sports, theatre, music and so on. The King performed a Dutch soccer penalty (so he failed of course 😅) and he played table tennis with the Queen (Máxima) and smashed her out! Hilarious! 😆😆😆
What is so valuable about Kings Day is that children get the Dutch trading spirit learnt by doing it! 💪
Children playing songs on their instruments, learning to trade and learn the value of money by selling stuff, buying stuff and bringing back cans, bottles and cups for money refund. Adults help them succeed. I bought a hand made necklace for my daughter ☺️♥️
You can't fail trying! 🧡👑🧡
I learnt a lot as kid these days.
A natural learning process for young entrepreneurs!
How have you learnt the value of money?
