The Origins of common Superstitions

Absolutely love how detailed this event is and how it incorporates many little events into one big event!!! Huge huge help!!! Thank you!!!!

Very good work on this program. Very thorough, and many good ideas tying into superstitious events. Also liked the idea to build in poetry, for poetry month!

My residents are the same' they just love the quizzes. Because the majority have all been such great readers these words have stayed in their memories. Keep up the great work!

thanks for the great resources, my residents love quizzes, and any word games.

Thank you for this detailed idea. We will do this tomorrow and I expect it will generate lots of discussions.

I bring along an old saying every week, such as 'mad as a 2 bob watch'. We talk about what it means when people say it, and whereabouts it came from or originated. Interesting information can be found online, and things that are common to say now often come from the 1500s. Mad as a hatter came from the potent oils they used to treat their leather with.

Hi,

It never ceases to amaze me with the different activities on this web site. Once again I never thought of the Ides of March. This is a comprehensive activity and thank you for writing this. I am grateful for this site as it makes our job that much easier the variety is fantastic and I am re energised every time I log one.

I am already planning for the 15th March.
