It’s time to start your countdown for 2022 – for on Yes Day 2022, you get to have a day full of all your wishes coming true! All the things that you would love to do and have – now is your chance to make them happen! With Yes Day just around the corner, let’s take a look at when it’s time to start saying “yes”!
1. What is Yes Day?
Yes Day is a day to escape from the mundane routines of life. Instead of saying ‘no’ to your children’s requests, you say ‘yes’ to as many things as possible! Families designate a single day, or even an entire weekend, for Yes Day. It’s a great way to have quality time together.
A Yes Day is all about embracing decisions made by entire family. Parents can learn from their children as they show us we can enjoy life in a different way. This allows children to be creative and embolden their ideas with a supportive environment. The entire family could watch a movie, have a picnic, or even plan a day trip – this is your chance to say Yes to all the things you normally wouldn’t.
- Have Fun: Make sure you pick activities you would actually enjoy – it’s fun to try something new but don’t say yes to anything you’re not comfortable doing (yes, this is an exception to Yes Day – don’t worry).
- Don’t Make Promises: You should keep the Yes Day within the parameter of the means that are available and make sure the idea is tangible for the planning. Otherwise, your ‘yes’ could lead to frustration.
- Logistical Issues: It’s wise to agree on the length of the Yes Day in the beginning, so there is a definite end to it. Fees for activities and entrance tickets can be an issue, so set a budget beforehand so everyone knows their limits.
Yes Day is a fantastic way to have quality family time together, and for children to learn that their ideas count. By saying Yes, parents give their children a sense of autonomy. There are so many possibilities for Yes Day, the only limit is your imagination!
2. Understanding the Yes Day Holiday
Yes Day is an event popular among many cultures around the world. It is an opportunity to take a break from the daily grind and say ‘yes’ to something different. But what is it really all about? Here, we will explore how it works and why it is celebrated.
A Day To Celebrate – Yes Day is a chance to let loose and agree to something new. Every culture has its own way of celebrating, but the principle is the same – that one day of the year everyone agrees to do something out of the ordinary. It may be something as simple as painting a mural, or as daring as riding a roller coaster.
A Day For Self-Expression – Yes Day gives people the permission to be creative and express themselves. By saying yes to something that takes you out of your comfort zone, you are taking a step towards discovering something new about yourself. For some, it could be a chance to paint a portrait. For others, it could be a chance to learn a foreign language.
A Day To Make Memories – Participation in Yes Day activities will create memories that you will cherish for years to come. What better way to bond with your family or friends than by joining in a group activity that is out of the ordinary? Doing something fun and exciting will create everlasting memories and will also be an excellent way to break the ice if you are meeting someone for the first time.

3. Exploring the Tradition of Yes Day
Yes Day is an age-old tradition that has been celebrated around the world for centuries. Through historic documents and archaeological excavations, the advent of Yes Day has been traced back to ancient societies.
Yes Day can be a great opportunity for children and parents to enjoy time together. Parents can take the opportunity to say yes to outings, activities and exciting experiences, making it a day for the whole family to look forward to. It is especially useful for parents who may spend more time saying ‘no’ than ‘yes’ due to the demands of everyday life.
There are various ways to implement Yes Day in all sorts of different households. Some families opt for a single yes-filled day each year, while others might have a rotating annual theme for each person in the household.
- No matter what approach is chosen, the main purpose of Yes Day is to motivate children, build relationships and foster a positive environment.
- On the day, activities can be hosted both inside and outside the home, including baking, playing games, and enjoying creative projects.
Celebrating Yes Day is a great way to expose children to different cultures, foods and other activities that that may otherwise be outside of their reach. It is a celebration that can leave lasting memories and bring families closer together.
