National Pop Goes the Weasel Day

National Pop Goes the Weasel Day is celebrated annually on June 14th. It commemorates the popular nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel," which has been sung and enjoyed by children for generations. The origins of the nursery rhyme are uncertain, but it is thought to have originated in England in the mid-19th century. The song tells the story of a weasel that goes "pop" when caught by the tail, and is often accompanied by a dancing game where children circle around each other and then "pop" up when the lyrics reach the final line. On National Pop Goes the Weasel Day, people may celebrate by singing the nursery rhyme, playing the accompanying game, or incorporating the theme into crafts and activities for children. It is a fun and lighthearted way to celebrate a beloved childhood rhyme and the joy of play.
