SUMMARY:National Game Show Day
DESCRIPTION:Today is June 1 and National Game Show Day on the National Day Calendar and we are celebrating all timeless game shows\, past and present. National Game Show Day honors one of the oldest and most cherished genres of TV. \n#NATIONALGAMESHOWDAY\nGame Shows are watched by millions of Americans every single day and are a staple in most American homes. Viewers can engage by cheering contestants on and playing along from home. National Game Show Day honors vintage and current game shows\, their hosts\, and the fans of yesterday and today. \nGame shows are a specific genre of television where contestants compete\, answer questions\, or solve puzzles to win prizes. Prizes consist of cash\, trips\, and some of the most popular consumer products\, including electronics\, cars\, and appliances. \nThe first TV game show in the U.S. was Truth or Consequences\, which began in 1940 and was hosted by Ralph Edwards. The show consisted of contestants being asked to answer trivia questions correctly or face the consequences by performing a zany stunt. \nPick-A-Number\nOn National Game Show Day\, we thought it would be fun to find the most popular game shows of all time. Our top 8 answers are on the board: \n\nTo Tell the Truth (1956 – 1978; 1980 – 1981; 2000 – 2002; 2016 – Present)\nMatch Game (1962 – 1969; 1973 – 1982; ; 2016 – 2021)\nJeopardy! (1964 – 75; 1984 – Present)\nThe Price is Right (1972 – Present)\nWheel of Fortune (1975 – Present)\nThe Gong Show (1976 – 1978)\nFamily Feud (1976 – 1985\, 1988 – 1995; 1999 – Present)\nHollywood Squares (1966 – 1981)\n\nWhat is the longest running game show on television? The Price is Right originally aired on TV in 1956\, with Bill Cullen as the host. In 1972\, the show reintroduced a new host. Bob Barker became the face of The Price is Right and served as host for 35 years\, with Drew Carey taking over the reins in 2007. The Price is Right is the longest running game show in television history\, with Carey continuing as host today. \nCan I view vintage game shows? Yes! For 8 years BUZZR has been providing broadcasts of vintage game shows from the early 1940s to the late 2000s. The network’s iconic line-up includes Match Game\, Family Feud\, Press Your Luck\, and Supermarket Sweep. Beloved personalities that appear on BUZZR include Betty White\, Gene Rayburn\, Richard Dawson\, Pat Sajak\, and Monty Hall. \n#NATIONALGAMESHOWDAY CELEBRATION IDEAS\n\nPlay a vintage game show board game with family and friends.\nWatch your favorite game on the BUZZR network or one of the BUZZR streaming platforms.\nCatch special programming on BUZZR to win special prizes.\nFollow BUZZR social media platforms to play games\, interact\, and win contests.\nShare your love for game shows by tagging #NationalGameShowDay on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:Say Something Nice Day
DESCRIPTION:On National Say Something Nice Day we have an opportunity to make June 1st extra pleasant for everyone. \n#SaySomethingNiceDay\nThe purpose of this holiday is to counteract bullying and the lack of civility and common courtesy that is growing among people in today’s world. Hopefully\, the practice of saying something nice today will continue into all tomorrows. \nWhen we were young\, many of us often heard\, “If you can’t say something nice\, don’t say anything at all.” One of the many reasons our parents taught us that is because once we say those words\, we can’t take them back\, no matter how true we think they might be. We all know someone whose true nature is kinder than most. Perhaps we even wish we could emulate them more than we do. \n\n\n\nDo they pay compliments or do they follow this old saying? Perhaps a little of both. But there are a few other lessons we can learn from generally nice people. It’s more than saying nice things to others. They genuinely listen to others and tend to put others first. When they pay a compliment\, it isn’t usually practiced. Their sincerity is felt by the receiver. \nHOW TO OBSERVE SAY SOMETHING NICE DAY\nThink about the nicest person you know. Take a cue from them and put one of their better qualities into practice. Say something nice to or about someone. Bring a smile to someone’s face for the sheer joy of seeing them smile. Seek no reward other than knowing that someone’s day is better because a nice word was said. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Pen Pay Day
DESCRIPTION:Observed each year on June 1st\, National Pen Pal Day is a way to let your pen pals know how much they mean to you. The day is the perfect time to send special letters and gifts to your pen pals. \n#NationalPenPalDay\nA pen pal is someone with whom you correspond by writing letters\, sharing personal events and many times have never even met. There are many benefits to having pen pals\, too. \n\nPen pals offer us a broader view of the world.\nWe improve our writing skills.\nWriting letters also give us a break from technology.\nIf your pen pal speaks another language\, your correspondence expands each other’s language.\nHaving a pen pal promotes delayed gratification. Once we write a letter\, we have to wait to hear back from our pen pal.\n\nGenerations of letter writers have enjoyed having pen pals in their life. Some have been famous and others have created life-long friendships that began in childhood. \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PEN PAL DAY\nWhile discovering a new pen pal these days might seem daunting but we found two websites that might help you along. Check out Postcrossing and Worldwide Snail Mail Pen Pals on Facebook if you’re looking for a pen pal. Share your memories of having a pen pal or your experiences with one now. Someone you meet in your travels can always become a pen pal\, too. Use #NationalPenPalDay to post on social media. \nSource Link
