Easter is Coming

Not everything is grammar, exams and that stuff; let's learn something about Easter and what to do during these "peculiar" holidays.

What's Easter?
In Catholic countries we commemorate the Holy Week, starting on Maundry Thursday, follwed by Good Friday (in UK and many other countries it's also a holiday and everything is close)  and it ends on Resurrection Sunday; however, many other Christians commemorate Easter, starting on that Sunday but they continue with the following week.
But Easter is also atraditional time in Anglosaxson countries. Have a look at these videos about Easter and try to enjoy them, especially with your family:
  • History:
    • this video is quite educational
    • this is a bit more based on History: click here
  • Traditions:
    • In the UK: you have this video and this one as well
    • in America: this is the video or you also have this one
  • Activities: just in case you fancy doing some of the traditions with your family
    • Egg hunt: why don't you organise one at home? It might be really funny. If you want to see an example, go to this video although you can do it simpler.
    • Decorqting eggs: this video is for practising your creativity, not your English! This other video is simpler but with explanations
    • Making chocolate eggs: this video is very simple and this one is quite sofisticated; but this one is to practise your English as the cook is speaking while making the eggs.
    • Colouring Easter pictures: bunnies and eggs
Hope you enjoy these days with your families at home. Remember there's time for everything, even for doing some homework in English and sending it to me!
