labelled with a country’s name. Tell them not to show their cards to the other groups.
• Ask each group to write four facts about the country on the card. Model: Greece is in Southern
Europe. They may also use other units in their Pupil’s Book or the internet to find more facts.
• When pupils have finished, play the game. Each group should read their facts to the class and
have the class guess which country is on their card. If they still have not guessed after hearing
all the facts, they can play a game of Hot and Cold with the globe or world map to help their

Unusual Festivals The world is full of strange and

interesting festivals. Here are just a few
of the most unusual festivals in the world.

Holi – The Festival of Colours

This festival takes place every year in India, Nepal and many other
parts of the world in the spring. Holi lasts for many days. During Holi,
people throw coloured powder and water at each other. Holi is a festival
to celebrate the end of winter and the arrival of spring. It’s one of the
most colourful festivals in the world.

Tomatina – The Tomato Festival

Every year, on the last Wednesday of August, there is an interesting
festival in Buñol, Spain. People come from all over the world for a big
food fight. Tomatina is the festival of throwing tomatoes! All over the city,
people run through the streets throwing red tomatoes at each other. It’s a
really messy festival but everyone has a good time.

The Monkey Buffet

On the last weekend in November, the people of Lopburi, Thailand,
invite some unusual guests to dinner. Hundreds of monkeys live near
the town. Once every year, the monkeys are invited to a feast. The
monkeys feast on fruit, nuts and vegetables. People from all over the
world come to watch the monkeys eat.

Qoyllurit’i – The Festival of the Snow Star

One of the strangest and coldest festivals on Earth takes place
every May or June on a glacier in Peru. Each year many people
go to the festival known as Qoyllurit’i. For three days and nights
people celebrate with music and dancing on top of the glacier.
At the end of the festival, everyone walks out together carrying

20 Listen and read. What are some of the superstitions about leap years?

Leap Year
How Long Is a Year? Most people say a year is 365 days. It takes about
365 days for Earth to travel around the sun. However, it takes 365 days, 5 hours, 49
minutes and 12 seconds. If a calendar has only got 365 days, what happens to the
extra 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds? The answer is this: Every four years, we
add a day to the calendar. It’s 29th February and it’s called a leap day. This kind of
year is called a leap year. There are 366 days in a leap year.

Leap-Day Superstitions Julius Caesar created leap years in the first century
BC. Greeks and Romans were very superstitious about this year. They believed it was
unlucky to start a new job, start a journey, marry or buy or sell something. Some
people in Greece would still consider it very unlucky to marry on a leap day.

Which Years Are Leap Years? Years that can be divided evenly by four are
leap years. The year 2000 was a leap year. Then 2004, 2008 and 2012 were the next
leap years. If you know a leaper, make sure you say, “Happy birthday!” Your chance
to do that comes only once every four years!
