Chistmas is the most loved holiday of the years.Adults and children look forward to Chistmas and it’s magical atmosphere.It is traditional to decorate the houses and the Cristmas tree and the nativity play on the 8th of december.

On Chistmas day all the families get together to unwrap the presents and play indoor games.

In Italy we like playing card games such as “seven and half”.

A games where rach player gets a card and has to ask for more cards to get up toseven and half without game over it.

We also like playing society

games,like the game of duckline,

monopoly; but the most popular

and loved is the tombola (Bingo)

In this game rach player can buy one or more cards rach one

contains fifteen numbers from one to ninety.The money from the sale of these cards is split in to five groups and used as

prizes

One of the players has to plek

one number at a time from a small bag and can it out. At this the player cover up the

numbers extracted and when they get two or more o the

same line they get the money allocated for two,three,four or

five numbers

The game is over of the players covers up all of

the numbers on their card and wins all of the money

For you…one poetry of Christmas:

one bridge between the hearts

Manca un ponte tra i cuorifra i cuori degli uomini

lontani,fra i cuori vicini,

fra i cuori delle genti,che vivono sui monti e sui

pianidi tutti i continenti.

Se questo ponte ci fosse,gli uomini si scambierebbero i

segreti,i motivi lieti,

il sorriso e il perdono.Darebbero l’uno all’altro

e come per incantola confidenza della pena,

tornerebbe serenala fronte dopo il pianto.

Eppure l’uomo non sa innalzarequesta passerella d’amore:manca lo slancio del cuore!

Aiutalo tu fanciullo;costruiscci on le tue mani,

senza travi,questo grande lavoro

questo ponte d’oroin cui un mar di luce:il ponte che conduce

da Oriente ad Occidentee da Occidente ad Oriente

una sola gente.

For wethe bridge between the hearts

is to do charity and not to be egoistbut to be near to all the others.

Merry Christmas and happy new year

the children and the teacher of IV a/b/c
