Can you wiggle your tongue all the way to your nose or pat your head, rub your tummy at the same time?  

Can you hula‑hoop, sing silly songs, skip backwards, or make up funny dances? 

Guess what, those are all talents! And the best part is, everyone has at least one. Some talents are big and flashy, like playing an instrument or doing gymnastics. Others are small and quirky, like whistling, telling jokes, or balancing a spoon on your nose. 

November 24 is Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day! It’s a special day to show off what makes you YOU.

Your talents tell the world what you enjoy, what you can do, and what makes you smile. They remind us that being different is awesome.  They help us cheer for each other and be kind. 

So today, try something fun: 

• Show a friend your coolest trick. 

• Teach someone how to do what you do best. 

• Or discover a brand‑new talent you didn’t know you had! 

Don’t forget that your talent doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be yours.
