This country is INDIA and it is located in Asia. Because with English you can go everywhere in the world. Isn't it amazing? In this map, you can locate India easily:
As you can see, it takes 14 hours to get this country by plane. Yes, it is quite far 😲 The main city of India is New Delhi.
The most important festival in India is HOLI and it is celebrated at the end of March. It is a colourful and really fun party in which everyone goes out and throw coloured powder to each other! Also, you can learn how Indian people dress themselves looking at their clothes.
I have prepared a Coldplay video for you to sing and enjoy music while you learn about Indian culture. I use this song to teach and review Present Simple and Present Continuous.
The song is called 'Hymn for the weekend'. Does it sound to you? 😉
I bet you are going to like it very much

Wait! This post is not finished!
In the classroom my students are also working on Indian culture. They are preparing the end of school year with a great dance for the school party! The song's name is 'Jai Ho' and it comes from the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' (thanks to the great teacher Maribel!!). They mix English + Music + Physical Education (CLIL methodology) here and it feels so good!
They do it really well and you can feel joy in their faces. Dancing supposes a great motivation for them. Because if they are happy at school, I am happy too. 💞😃
(Por supuesto, les llevé la "caja bombones"... 🍬 😏)
