THE CHILDREN'S DAY

The children’s day is celebrated all over China by pupils under 12. On that day we go to school but we don’t have lessons. We participate to activities like fishing. We fish wooden fish and we must be as quick as we can. If you are the first you can win a peach and eat it.

We can also play another game. For example, someone draws a circle on the blackboard which represents a face and someone else comes with his or her eyes closed and must draw the rest of the face : the eyebrows, the eyes, the nose, the mouth and the ears. It’s funny because we often draw outside the circle. We can also put about ten candles on a line and try to blow them all at the same time. We have sweets and crisps and we drink Xing Mu which is a Chinese beverage like coca cola.
It’s a wonderful day when we are children.
