We’re pretty traditional so we celebrate the Twelve Days of Shark Week which culminates on Shark Week Premiere Sunday. Maybe you incorporate these traditions in your home?

We don our Shark Apparel.
- We light the Traditional Chum Candle.
  - Each night each family member (starting with the youngest) picks their favorite Shark Week episode of the past and we all watch it together. In nontraditional households, the reading of “JAWS” is replaced by more episodes.
  - We also play “Pin the Shark” with the kids.
