A. Ask your parents for permission to have a party. Decide what kind of party you want and whether it will be
held indoors or outdoors. Send written invitations to your friends. Tell them what kind of party you are having,
at what time, where, and whether or not the guests should wear costumes. Make a list of games you would like
to play. Ask your mother to help you prepare refreshments. Ice cream, cake, cookies, and lemonade are good
for any party.
B. This activity makes everybody laugh. Have the guests sit around the room. Choose one person to be a
pussycat. The pussy must go over to a guest and do his/her best to make the guest laugh. He/she can make
funny meows and walk around like a cat. The pussy goes from one guest to another until someone laughs. The
first one to laugh becomes the new pussy.
C. It's easy to make a cake from a cake mix that you get from the grocery store. You usually add only water or
milk. Cake mixes come in many flavours, such as chocolate, lemon, banana, vanilla and others. When you
make a cake from a mix, always follow the directions on the package carefully. Then you can be sure that your
cake will turn out right and your guests will enjoy it. Many mixes have a small envelope of powdered frosting
hidden inside the flour.
D. As you ride on a bus with your friends, get someone to start singing. Everyone joins in. At the first
crossroad, another person starts a different song, and everyone joins in. Keep changing songs at every
crossroad.
E. Looking after cats is easy. They wash themselves every day and eat almost any food. Cats like to drink milk
and cream. But they need to be fed on fish, beef, liver, and other kinds of meat. They need a clean, dry bed at
night. You can use a basket or a cardboard box for your cat's bed. Cats like to play with a rubber ball or chase a
string.
F. You can have a whole army of toy soldiers made of tin, wood or plastic. Some may be dressed in fancy
uniforms, some may be sitting on horses. Others may be ready for battle, carrying guns and shoulder packs.
You can have soldiers from other countries, or only Civil War soldiers or only modern soldiers. If you get two
soldiers that are alike, trade your extra soldier with another toy soldier lover.
G. Even animals get involved in elections. The donkey and elephant have been political symbols in the USA for
more than 100 years. Why? In 1828, Democrat Andrew Jackson ran for president. Critics said he was stubborn
as a donkey. The donkey has been the symbol of the Democratic Party ever since. In the 1870s, newspaper
cartoonists began using the elephant to stand for the Republican Party.
