About Global Belly Laugh Day
Belly Laugh Day is a day to celebrate the great gift of laughter. Smiling and laughing are encouraged and celebrated.
How? Smile, throw your arms in the air and laugh out loud. Join the Belly Laugh Bounce Around the World, as people from Antarctica to Hawaii in kitchens, schools, hospitals, offices, plants and stores stop at 1:24 to have a laugh.
Global Belly Laugh Day was created by Elaine Helle in June 2005.
Elaine thought we celebrate love, give thanks, so why don't we celebrate the great gift of laughter?
