new chinese holidays

in combination with the upcoming holidays and the fact that the word 'invent' is a vocabulary word in the 4th grade english book, i decided to ask my students, "if you could invent a holiday, what would it be?" so, if chinese children had their say, this it what we would have. the numbers next to the names represent the number of votes each holiday received as being the best holiday. as you can see, 'play day' was pretty popular. that poor kid who came up with 'restaurant day' though, he didn't even get a pity vote from a friend!!! i thought it was pretty practical holiday :)

this holiday tops the list. i can't think of any other way i'd want to spend a day off from work.
