【感恩节由来介绍】
Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.
The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes.
There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.
Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued blessings.
【感恩节活动介绍】
Turkey Head bands:
Ask the children to make a headband by cutting the paper strips. They can use glue or staple the headband together. Supply the children with feathers, glitter, sequins or other related materials to design the headband. They can even write a Thanksgiving Logo such as 'Turkey Durkey' on the headband.
Hand Turkey:
Paint the child's palm and thumb with brown color and his or her other fingers in different colors. Then take the imprint of their hand on a piece of paper. The thumb will become the neck of the turkey and palm imprint appears to be its body. Other fingers become the glorious plumage of the bird. They can then draw the feet and other features of the turkey such as eyes and nose.
Turkey Puzzle:
Choose a turkey picture and paste it on a cardboard. Cut it in straight or angular lines in six or more pieces. This can become an interesting jigsaw puzzle for the children. You can just mix the pieces together and ask the children to arrange it in a proper form. The child who takes least time to do it will be the winner.
Indian Play:
Dress the children in Indian robes and beaded necklaces and make them carry cradleboards. Set up teepees and allow the children to pretend to be Indian. Also try with animal skin to get a primitive experience.
