Level/age group: gimnazjum, grade 2
4. Ask students to work in groups and imagine
they are members of the Warsaw St. Patrick’s
Day Festival organising committe. Draw their
attention to the table in part 2 and say they
need to plan at least one activity within each
space given. Ask them to make use of the
ideas in part 1 and their own ideas. Explain
that money is no issue. Allow time for group
discussion and monitor. (Students could also
do this part as a project, for example preparing
a poster with the festival timetable.)

Preparation: copy one worksheet per student
Procedure:
1. Ask students to work in groups and brainstorm
St. Patrick’s Day symbols. Try to elicit green,
going to pubs, (Guinness) beer, shamrock (or
three-leafed clover), leprechaun, pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow, celtic cross .
5. Ask each group in turn to present their festival
and let the class vote for the most interesting
proposal.
2. Ask students if they celebrate St. Patrick’s
Day in any way and if they know how it is
celebrated around the world. Get ideas from
the whole group.
3. Distribute the worksheets and ask students to
try to guess where St. Patrick’s Day is
celebrated in the ways given by completing
the sentences. Allow time to compare in pairs
and check with the whole group.
