In England, Pass the Parcel is a popular game for children. They usually play it at birthday parties. Now let's learn how to play it and have fun with your friends on your next birthday!

·Get your parcel ready by wrapping your present in layers* of paper.

·Sit in a circle and choose one of you to start the game.

·Put on some music. When the song plays, everyone gives the parcel to the one next to them. When the song stops, the child with the present takes off a layer of paper.

·When one of you takes off the final layer, the lucky child will get the present!

In China, people play lion dances on big days like the Chinese New Year, because they think the lion dance can bring good luck.

The lion dance started in China over 1,000 years ago. In the Han Dynasty, people from Central Asia gave lions as presents to the Chinese king. In the Three Kingdoms Period, people began wearing lion-like clothes to celebrate festivals. It was the first lion dance. In the Tang Dynasty, it became more important.

In China, there are two kinds of lion dances - the Northern kind and the Southern kind. The Northern lion is red and yellow, and it looks dangerous, like a real lion. There is usually a father lion, a mother lion, and sometimes little lions in the Northern lion dance. The Southern lion is like a cat and it has more different colours.

The lion dance needs one man dancing the head and the other man dancing the tail. But in the Northern lion dance, there's a dancer with a ball standing before the lion. The Northern lion dance is usually for fun, and the music is lively. The music of the Southern lion dance is exciting as well.

The lion dance is always a great art for people all over the world and the value of it never changes over time.

Sam and his dad Oscar think of each other as the best son and father in the world... But that stops on the day they plan to build a tree house.

At the shop, they have different ideas about how much lumber to buy. When they get home, they can't agree on which tree to choose to build a tree house in.

Sam wants the maple. Dad wants the hackberry. They don't welcome each other's ideas.

"Sam is so stubborn," Dad says to Mum.

"Why doesn't Dad listen to my idea?" Sam cries.

From that day on, they don't talk to each other. Both of them look unhappy.

A few days later, Mum comes to Sam. "Father's Day is coming. Why not make something for your dad? He'll be happy." Sam makes a nice box by using some of the lumber for the tree house.

When Dad sees it, he asks. "Hey, do you make it all by yourself?"

"It's for you," says Sam. "But I can't make it well. I'll have to buy you something else."

"Oh no! Keep it. I like this," Dad asks. "Your mother says if we want to build the tree house, we should start now. Will you help?"

"Sure," says Sam. "But we still don't know which tree to choose."

Mum looks out of the window. "Well, my dear stubborn Oscar and Sam, why not build it in the oak tree?"

"Great Mum speaks. What do you think?" Sam smiles.

"I think it's a great idea," says Dad. "Let's get to work!"
