International Day of Happiness · Worksheet 1

1How happy are you today? Think of a ladder with 11 steps. The bottom step is 0, and it means the worst life for you. The top step is 10, and it means the best life. Which step are you on now?
2This is a real question from a big survey. Every year, people in more than 140 countries answer it. The results go into the World Happiness Report. It comes out every year on March 20, the International Day of Happiness. In 2026, Finland was number one for the ninth year in a row. Japan was number 61.
3The day started with a small country in the Himalayas. In 1972, the king of Bhutan said that happiness was more important than the size of the economy. He wanted to measure the country's success by its Gross National Happiness. Later, Bhutan asked the United Nations to think about this idea. In 2012, the UN made March 20 a day for happiness, and the first one was in 2013.
4Of course, happiness is not only about money. Friends who help you, good health, and the freedom to make choices are also important. On March 20, the UN asks everyone to think about these things. So ask a friend what makes them happy. Then do something kind for that person. You may move two people up the ladder at the same time!
