Teacher Guide / Instructions
Compile a list of unusual holidays your students probably aren't familiar with. Write down each one on a small piece of paper, including the date and the reason for the holiday. Each student chooses one paper and keeps it a secret. They then have to write three sentences: one with the correct date and reason for the holiday, and two with the correct date but made up reasons for the holiday.
March 17th is the day where people wear green and celebrate Irish heritage.
March 17th is the day that people celebrate professional car racing.
March 17th is the day that people remember WW2.
Each student then takes turns reading their sentences to the class. The other students try decide which sentence is true.
