Love and Friendship Day in Colombia is just another St. Valentine’s Day and it is celebrated in September in our country. You don’t need to be in a relationship to celebrate this day and this is the good part of it; this celebration is for everybody. One of the most famous activities to celebrate this day is to play what we call “Secret Friend”. That’s why, my students decided to play this game, with some variations. This is what we did: First, we put all of the students’ names in a bag and they took turns drawing names. The name that each one drew was the name of his/her secret friend. After that and for a couple of weeks, each student posted messages in English for his/her secret friend and on a special date, in front of everyone, they revealed the name of his/her secret friend. Kids enjoyed this activity so much and the most important thing is that they could practice English in a different way. Good job!
