APRIL

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.
