A. Ask
your parents for permission to have a party. Decide what kind of party you want
and whether it will be held indoors or outdoors. Send written invitations to
your friends. Tell them what kind of party you are having, at what time, where,
and whether or not the guests should wear costumes. Make a list of games you
would like to play. Ask your mother to help you prepare refreshments. Ice
cream, cake, cookies, and lemonade are good for any party.
B. This
activity makes everybody laugh. Have the guests sit around the room. Choose one
person to be a pussycat. The pussy must go over to a guest and do his/her best
to make the guest laugh. He/she can make funny meows and walk around like a
cat. The pussy goes from one guest to another until someone laughs. The first
one to laugh becomes the new pussy.
C. It's
easy to make a cake from a cake mix that you get from the grocery store. You
usually add only water or milk. Cake mixes come in many flavours, such as
chocolate, lemon, banana, vanilla and others. When you make a cake from a mix,
always follow the directions on the package carefully. Then you can be sure
that your cake will turn out right and your guests will enjoy it. Many mixes
have a small envelope of powdered frosting hidden inside the flour.
D. As
you ride on a bus with your friends, get someone to start singing. Everyone
joins in. At the first crossroad, another person starts a different song, and
everyone joins in. Keep changing songs at every crossroad.
E.
Looking after cats is easy. They wash themselves every day and eat almost any
food. Cats like to drink milk and cream. But they need to be fed on fish, beef,
liver, and other kinds of meat. They need a clean, dry bed at night. You can
use a basket or a cardboard box for your cat's bed. Cats like to play with a
rubber ball or chase a string.
F. You
can have a whole army of toy soldiers made of tin, wood or plastic. Some may be
dressed in fancy uniforms, some may be sitting on horses. Others may be ready
for battle, carrying guns and shoulder packs. You can have soldiers from other
countries, or only Civil War soldiers or only modern soldiers. If you get two
soldiers that are alike, trade your extra soldier with another toy soldier
lover.
G. Even
animals get involved in elections. The donkey and elephant have been political
symbols in the USA for more than 100 years. Why? In 1828, Democrat Andrew
Jackson ran for president. Critics said he was stubborn as a donkey. The donkey
has been the symbol of the Democratic Party ever since. In the 1870s, newspaper
cartoonists began using the elephant to stand for the Republican Party.
