As Veronica Belmont pointed out in a recent tweet. August 13th is National Left-Hander’s Day. As a fellow left-hander, I’m proud to be the members of society that are in our right minds.
Here are some ways to celebrate this great national holiday from LeftHandersDay.com:
Try to get right-handers to try using their normal right-handed tools and implements in their left hand. They will find it difficult and will start to understand some of the frustrations us left-handers face on a daily basis.
Either informal or organised gamed of left-footed football, or netball shooting with the left hand only. Works for most sports and your teams must all play left-handed (not just the lefties). Referee could penalise anyone not shooting/leading with their left, and may need a few “spotters” to keep watch!
If you have left handed guitar, give lessons to the right-handers.
If you have left handed guitar, give lessons to the right-handers.
Use the computer keyboard to enter lots of numbers – using wrong hand.
The website even has some posters you can print out to celebrate the holiday
