World Smile Day is a special event on the first Friday in October. It was started by Harvey Ball, the famous yellow Smiley Face creator, to inspire people to smile and share happiness with others. On this day, you can do fun and meaningful World Smile Day Activities in your classroom.<\/p><p>Smiling and being kind can significantly impact someone\u2019s mood and well-being. Let\u2019s make the world happier with these World Smile Day Activities!<\/p><h3>The Famous Smiley Face\u00a0<\/h3><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In 1963, Harvey Ball created the yellow Smiley Face. At the time, Ball was a commercial artist and graphic designer working in Worcester, Massachusetts. An insurance company approached Ball looking for a way to boost morale among its employees, who were feeling down after a merger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The company asked Ball to create a simple design that could help lift the employees\u2019 spirits. After brainstorming, Ball proposed a yellow circle with two black dots for the eyes and a black semicircle for the mouth. He drew the design by hand, and the company printed it on buttons distributed to employees. The design was an immediate hit, and soon people all over the company were wearing the buttons and smiling at each other.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Smiley Face quickly caught on beyond the insurance company and became a famous symbol of happiness worldwide. People put the Smiley Face on buttons, T-shirts, mugs, and other products. It became one of the first commercially successful emoticons, preceding the creation of digital smileys by decades.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Harvey Ball copyrighted the design in 1971 and trademarked it in 1973. He sold the rights to the design for $45,000 in the 1970s. Ball died in 2001, but his legacy lives on through the Smiley Face, an enduring symbol of positivity and happiness.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8342587 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8342587\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Lesson Handout<\/h3><p>The handouts for this post are available in the Fall Vault, along with other fun fall activities your students will love.
