The book skips some age groups (5, and 6). The author describes the ceremonies and the reasoning behind them and includes page numbers for reference:
Age 1 Assigned to Family Unit and given name because the baby can't stay in the Nurturing Center forever (42).
Age 2 The children are introduced to the discipline wand.
Age 3 Only females get hair ribbons because they start growing hair in different ways, and they all need to look the same. Start dream-sharing, because at age three most babies can talk (35).
Age 4 Backward-buttoned jackets are given out to teach the kids interdependence (40).
Age 7 Front-buttoned jackets are given out to learn independence; also the first visible symbol of maturity (40-1).
Age 8 Comfort objects are taken away because the kids need to learn to not be so childish. They start volunteer hours because the kids are mature enough to help out other people. Jacket with pockets and smaller buttons because the kids need to carry around more things (45).
Age 9 Get a bike because kids can't always count on their parents to take them places and it would be "The powerful emblem of moving gradually out into the community, away from the protective family unit" (41). Females get hair ribbons taken out as a sign of maturity (13).
Age 10 Boys get hair cut. Girls get pigtails taken out, and they get a haircut; this also is another sign of maturity (46).
Age 11 Girls get new undergarments because their bodies will start maturing faster. Boys get longer pants because they also will start maturing.
Age 12 Receive life assignment and start training for job (15).
Full adulthood: Apply for spouse (marriage). Apply for children (13) (Optional).

In The Giver, the Ceremony of 2 is when infants born within the same year are assigned to their families. The number represents the age of the child, indicating that they are now two years old. At this ceremony, the children are given to their designated families, marking the beginning of their upbringing in the community.

∙ 12y agoThey never say. In the ceremony of two, twos become threes. They don't say the special new "thing" they receive.
