Materials: list of holidays (may be omitted if not needed by students) short paragraphs about the following holidays: Christmas, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Easter, and New Year's Procedure: Ifnecessary, the holidays are written on the chalkboard and students practice the vocabulary before doing the exercise. Advanced students should identify the holidays without using a list. The students identify the holiday for each paragraph that is read by the instructor. Paragraphs: On Friday night I went to the shopping mall to visit Santa. I had my picture taken with Santa and one of his elves. On Candy Cane Lane all the stores were decorated with many different kinds of decorations and ornaments. We celebrated at our picnic with a blast. The sky was full of bright colors. There were Roman candles, sizzles, cherry bombs, and snakes. Our community always has a wonderful display of fireworks during the evening on Independence Day. The turkey, cranberries, stuffing, pie, and nuts were all so delicious. The family shared their thoughts and prayers of thankfulness. Every year I look forward to carving a jack-o'-lantern. Trick or treaters always come to the door dressed in the most unusual costumes. Some of them are scary and some are cute. There are always ghosts. I received a beautiful card with a large red heart in the middle. The card said, "Will you be mine?" This special day is February 14, and there are always many sweetheart balls during this time. Dyeing eggs different colors and decorating them with flowers, crosses, and other designs is a family fun activity. Hunting for the eggs is a lot of fun for both young and old people. 138 Speechreading Exercises 10. We hang at windows. We are long. We are beautiful. 11. I have a small tail. I am brown or white.
