What is Pizza Day?

For young children, everyday should be Pizza Day! Pizza Day is celebrated each year on February 9th as a way to honor one of America’s favorite foods! It is such a beloved food that people are quite attached to the style of pizza they enjoy, and from where they buy pizza. These 2 things are often contested as pizza is near and dear to our hearts. Check out these fun ways to celebrate America’s treasured treat.

3 Ways to Celebrate Pizza Day

Read-Aloud Your Favorite Books

Pipo thinks that pizza is the best. No, Pipo knows that pizza is the best. When she sets out on a neighborhood quest to prove it, she discovers, “best” might not mean what she thought it meant! 

While reading aloud the book with Novel Effect, listen for enticing sounds. You’ll hear sizzling, slicing, popcorn popping, glugs and sighs as she goes on her foodie adventure!

Secret Pizza Party → How does Racoon love pizza? Oh, let him count the ways. He loves the gooey cheesy-ness, salty pepperoni-ness, sweet sweet tomato-ness, and of course the crispity crunchity crust. But someone is always chasing poor Raccoon away from his favorite food with a broom! What’s a hungry raccoon to do? Plan an elaborate secret pizza party, of course! 

When you read aloud with Novel Effect, you’ll hear sounds of jazz as Raccoon plans a secret pizza party. And listening to them enjoy their slices, you’ll soon feel the pang to get your own!

Build Your Own Pizza

When pizza is out of reach, the next best thing is to build your own! This fun activity invites children to be creative, and incorporates math skills. Students will plan out what their perfect pizza pie will have, and then build it with shapes!
