What this lesson teaches
People who speak other languages also have their own foods, music, games, and holidays. Trying these things is a fun way to learn how other families live. Some things will feel new, and some will feel just like home.
Worked example
In many Spanish-speaking countries, children play with a brightly colored pinata at birthday parties, hitting it until treats fall out.
Practice questions
- Name one food from another country you would like to try.
- What is a holiday or game your family enjoys?
- What is one thing that might be the same for kids everywhere?

Productos, prácticas y perspectivas culturales
Las personas que hablan otros idiomas también tienen sus propias comidas, músicas, juegos y fiestas. Probar estas cosas es una manera divertida de conocer cómo viven otras familias. Algunas cosas se sentirán nuevas y otras se sentirán igual que en tu casa.
Ejemplo: En muchos países de habla hispana, los niños golpean una piñata de colores brillantes en las fiestas de cumpleaños hasta que caen los dulces y juguetes.
