Hello everybody!
Book and Author Day
It is said that books can be our best friends and it is
true. Books transport us to new worlds, help us to reflect, to improve our
knowledge, make us dream, imagine and discover. For this reason and many
others, reading is very useful in our life.
UNESCO has chosen 23th of April to celebrate Book and Author
Day, but do you know why they choose this day? Becasuse Garcilaso de la Vega, Cervantes and Shakespeare is death.
There are differents forms to celebrate this day, for
example in Catalonia, is celebrated San Jordi´s Day and there are books and
roses exchanges.
Consequently, we have pretended to share you what we have
done in order to celebrate this day.
We have played a game called Library Bingo, using a traditional story-telling called Red Little
Riding Hood.
This game consists on giving cardboards which need to be
complete with nine words those participants have to write. They must come from
the tale chosen (and known for all of us). We start reading the tale so slowly
and by the time the boy or girl has his or her own nine words crossed he or she
sais Bingo!. Then we stop reading and we check.
Don´t forget to leave your comments if you think that this things are good idea or not!
Thanks for reading!
I hope these games will be useful for your students.
See you in the next post.
