No one really knows how it began, but everybody knows how it ends! The week of the fight includes a fireworks party, music, dancing, colourful street parades and even a huge paella cooking contest. Then, about 30,000 people throw around 100,000 kg of tomatoes at each other for one hour. Experience Life as a Pirate in the Cayman Islands Have you ever wanted to be a pirate? If so, for ten days in November, Georgetown in the Cayman Islands transforms into a typical pirate town. The Pirates Week festival begins with a mock kidnap, complete with tall ships and rowing boats. Visitors have the chance to wear fancy dress costumes and experience life as a pirate.

A Celebration of the End of Winter If you want to watch parades, see fireworks and open-air theatre performances and eat until you burst, then the Maslenitsa carnival (or “Blini Week”) in the heart of Moscow is the festival for you! This fun festival takes place around the end of February and celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring. For this reason, all the festival-goers eat blini (pancakes), which symbolise the sun (round, golden and warm). At the end of carnival week, there is a big bonfire to say a final goodbye to winter! "Create Your Own Festival" — In pairs or small groups, students can brainstorm and plan their own festival, including the theme, activities, food, and decorations. They can then present their ideas to the class and compare and contrast their festivals with the ones in the text. Divide the students into pairs or small groups and give each group a festival from the text. Instruct the students to brainstorm what they would need to pack for the festival and why. After a few minutes, have each group share their ideas with the class and have a discussion about the different festivals and their unique traditions. Give the students a scenario: they are attending one of the festivals from the text and need to order food and drinks. Divide the students into pairs and give each pair a different menu from one of the festivals. Instruct the students to take turns ordering food and drinks from the menu in English. After a few minutes, have each pair present their order to the class and encourage discussion about the different foods and drinks from each festival. "What's Your Favorite Food?" — In pairs or small groups, students can discuss their favorite food from their own culture. They can then share with the class and compare the similarities and differences between the dishes described in the text. "Planning Your Trip" — Students can imagine they are planning a trip to the museum of medieval costumes. In pairs or small groups, they can research and discuss the logistics of traveling to the museum, including transportation, accommodation, and budget. They can then present their plan to the class and discuss which museum they would most like to visit. Ask the students to choose one film character from the text and create a poster advertising him/her. The poster should include the name of the character, his/her appearance and an actor playing this character. After some time, ask the students present their posters to the class and vote on the most creative one.
