How did St. Valentine become associated with love and romance? Get the full story behind the holiday.

Whether you love Valentine's Day or hate it, one thing is clear: The holiday goes way back. And while it's now known for kissing, Valentine's Day gifts, and hard-to-get dinner reservations, the origins of the holiday are far less romantic. Many people believe he’s celebrated for his role as a Roman priest who helped couples secretly get married. Valentine’s Day did not come to be celebrated as a day of romance until about the 14th century. Today, we celebrate it on the 14th of February.

This 90-minute lesson will teach young children the real history behind the globally celebrated Valentine's Day. It is based on the YouTube video 'Bet You Didn't Know: Valentine's Day | History' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neb7dbPW0Sk&t=1s) by the acclaimed History channel. There are plenty of activities and their answers are provided at the end.

This is a detailed lesson plan based on the YouTube video “Christmas traditions in Great Britain”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cFyWMdQBQ8.

Christmas is a very important time in the christian year, but it is also very important to people who do not go to church. It is a time for presents, parties, and time with the family.

In the UK, people start to get ready for Christmas in late October or early November. They decorate their shops with lights, trees, and other decorations. Shops get very busy and stay open later

in the middle of December. Most families buy Christmas trees, put them inside the house, and put colorful decorations on them.

Watch the video with your students and follow the steps in the lesson plan. You will have 60 minutes of lesson, with a variety of activities that will engage all types of learners.

Add some Christmas joy to your lessons with this festive lesson plan!
