St. George’s Day Teaching Ideas

St George’s Day is celebrated by the several nations, kingdoms, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint. Some of the countries that celebrate the date include England, Canada, Greece, and Portugal.

Here are some suggested teaching ideas:

• Find out about England. How is it similar / different to where you live?
• Make a travel guide about England (or a particular town / city there). Watch this video tour of London for some inspiration:
• Can you retell the story of St. George, using stories / pictures / animation? Watch this video for some ideas:
