This week, I'm teaching about birthday's because last week was Buddha's birthday. For the lesson, we learn about the different ways other cultures (Mexico, India, USA, and Korea) celebrate their birthdays. I also ask them what they do to celebrate, and write their ideas on the board. I haven't had one class NOT say "go to the PC room." I have to pry pretty hard to get them to even mention the word "cake" and "presents."
At the end of the lesson, the kids make their own fortune cookies with a good luck wish inside. I give them a few examples, such as "you will be rich," "you are special," "have a great day," etc, but someone always writes "you will be die," or "you will break your boyfriend." It's actually kind of cute, and the kids think this is hilarious.
Here's what I wanted the cookies to turn out like. Of course, they don't look nearly as cute when they're just crafted out of plain white A4 paper and scotch tape!
