Sunday, 9th November is ... TONGUE TWISTER DAY !

Peter Piper picked a peck of… Peter Piper pecked a pick… Never mind; you get the point.Tongue Twister Day is about fumbling through those awkward phrases in an attempt to improve annunciation and impress your friends.

‘The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick,’ is recorded as the most difficult one by the Guinness Book of World Records.

Try these simple ones:

Allie’s alligator ate apples. 
Bobby’s brother bought beautiful bowls. 
Carter carried carrots carefully. 
Donna danced during dinner. 
Earlene eagerly eats eel. 
Fred fell feet first. 
George gladly goes golfing. 
Haddie has hot hamburgers. 
Ida itches in Idaho. 
Jackie joyfully jumps Jupiter. 
Karla kept kicking kangaroos.

Go on... next letter is L...


Or, would you like something more difficult?


Betty Botter had some butter,
“But,” she said, “this butter’s bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter –
that would make my batter better.”
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So ‘twas better Betty Botter

bought a bit of better butter.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?



She sells seashells by the seashore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,

I’m sure she sells seashore shells.




Now, listen and repeat:

 

How many cans can a canner can, if a canner can can cans?
A canner can can as many cans as a canner can, if a canner can can cans.

GUY FAWKES DAY

Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot…

Known as Guy Fawkes Night or Fireworks Night, Gunpowder Day focuses on the plot by Guy Fawkes and other conspirators to blow up Britain’s parliament in 1605. Rebelling against the persecution of Catholics by King James I, they planned to kill the monarch during his visit to parliament. But the scheme was foiled and the traitors executed.

On Gunpowder Day, families construct an effigy of Guy Fawkes to be burned on a bonfire that evening. Fireworks are also set off to add to the celebrations. Public displays are also held and the biggest celebration of Gunpowder Day is in Lewes in East Sussex, England. Six bonfire societies host their own fireworks displays and gargantuan bonfires. After sunset, a large procession of all of the societies moves through Lewes. Many members carry flame torches and a river of fire can be seen flowing through the town during the evening.

A Halloween song

Lyrics:

We’re a ghost family. 
We’re fantastic and friendly.
When it’s time for Halloween,
We ride out in our limousine.

We’re a ghost family. 
We’re fantastic and friendly.
When it’s time for Halloween,
We like to shake our tambourines.

We float, we fly, we sweep, we swoop.
We soar, we glide, we loop-de-loop.
We’re on the ground and up high too.
We love to jump out and say, “Boo!”

We’re a ghost family. 
We’re fantastic and friendly.
When it’s time for Halloween,
We like to pop out on your screen.

We’re a ghost family. 
We’re fantastic and friendly.
When it’s time for Halloween,
We bounce around like jumping beans.

We float, we fly, we sweep, we swoop.
We soar, we glide, we loop-de-loop.
We’re on the ground and up high too.
We love to jump out and say, “Boo!”

We’re a ghost family. 
We’re fantastic and friendly.
When it’s time for Halloween,
We flip-flop on our trampoline.

We’re a ghost family. 
We’re fantastic and friendly.
When it’s time for Halloween,
We’re the silliest on the scene.

We’re the spookiest. We’re the kookiest.
We’re the gobbledygookiest.

We float, we fly, we sweep, we swoop.
We soar, we glide, we loop-de-loop.
We’re on the ground and up high too.
We love to jump out and say, “Boo!”
We love to jump out and say, “Boo!”

CANADA DAY - 1st July

Every year on July 1st, we celebrate Canada Day. 

On that date in 1867, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada were united into a single country. This union was a result of the Constitution Act which granted Canada a great deal of independence from England. Over the course of a century, Canada gradually shed its dependence on the United Kingdom. It did not become fully independent until 1982, the same year that Canada Day became an official holiday.

Canada Day took decades to catch on due to the fact that many early Canadians identified themselves as British. It was not until Canada's "golden" anniversary in 1917 (50 years), that an official celebration was recorded. The next set of Canada Day festivities did not occur until ten years later, in 1927. The government's first recognition of the holiday occurred in 1958 with a trooping of the color on Parliament Hill. The first country-wide celebration was in 1967, Canada's 100th anniversary. From that point on, Canada Day grew and evolved to become the widespread commercial holiday it is today.

Today, Canada Day is celebrated with fireworks, concerts, cookouts, and sports games. Canada's capital, Ottawa, Ontario, hosts the most holiday activities. There are countless events, activities, and festivals to be found throughout the city in the city streets, parks,and museums. Fireworks are launched from Parliament Hill to conclude a day of patriotic festivities. 

SMILE POWER DAY - 15th June

Smile Power Day is the perfect excuse to shine your pearly whites and show off those dimples. And no, a smiley face or an emoticon won’t do! Not today, at least. The smile is a symbol of happiness and vitality, a beacon of hope and an expression of emotion. So just for today, drop the ‘:)’ texts and flash them a real smile.

Nobody knows who came up with the idea of dedicating a whole 24 hours to the involuntary contraction of the zygomatic major muscle, but one thing is certain: we’re the only creatures on the planet that can do it.Whether fate smiled upon you or not, you can always find a good reason to smile. So grin from ear to ear, look on the bright side and smile your troubles away, just like the great Dr. Seuss suggested: “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

Smile Power Day is meant to be shared with loved ones. You can take them all out to a stand-up show, put together an organised smile-off, eat smiley-glazed cupcakes, drink some Smile Cocktails, and paint smileys everywhere because everyone and his brother loves them. Most importantly, when you crack a smile today, remember that it’s not Smile Power Day unless you can put a smile one someone else’s face, too.

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY - 5th June

Wear black clothes, white make-up, and approach the world from a different angle. Unleash your inner goth for Goth Day!

Are you any of these?

Here's what you need to become one...
