感恩节的英语介绍
感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的.发端。下面是小编整理的关于感恩节的英语由来介绍,一起来看一下吧!
【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.
【感恩节的游戏介绍】Bird, Beast, or Fish
A circle is formed and one person is chosen as the den. The den points out to the players one by one and calls him as a bird, beast or fish randomly and the person has to come up with a word related to the name given to him before the den can count to 10.
The person who cannot come up a word immediately loses and has to leave the group. Person who can stick to the last is the winner. Though it seems easy, people and children soon tend to run out of words and only one with the biggest stock of vocabulary can remain to the last.
Hide and Seek with a twist
One participant is chosen as the hunter and sent out of the room. A toy turkey is hidden somewhere. Hunter comes in the room and has to find it. The only clue he gets is that when he or she is far from the turkey, all the others gobble like a turkey but in whispers and when he is nearer to the hiding place, others start to gobble louder. The person who takes least time to find the toy is the winner.
Cranberry Spoon Race
All the kids stand in a straight line. A spoon with real cranberries is put in their mouths from the handle side. They have to run to the finishing point without letting the cranberries fall. If it does, they have to put it back in the spoon and start afresh.
Wear the feet of turkey
Put turkey footprints all over the room and children have to try to stand on the footprints when the music turns off. During the party, music is turned off randomly and anybody who is not standing on the turkey footprint is out of the game.
