Valentine's Day in Spain - Día de la Rosa y el Libro Video Activity

During Valentine’s Day, it’s important for students to learn that other countries have several different days to show people they love them. For example, in Spain, they celebrate Día del San Jordi/Día de la Rosa y el Libro (St. Geroge’s Day/Day of the Rose and the Book) on April 23rd.

This short Youtube video is a commercial for a “Brodieshostels” in Barcelona. This video has NO SPANISH; it is just music as the camera films the street during St. George’s Day. It can be downloaded from Youtube:

If the link doesn’t work, search “Barcelona - Sant Jordi / St. George's Day”

I have 5 True/False questions in English about this commercial. (Questions are written two-to-a-page to save on copies.) The video is fun and has a catchy song, and it’s short so it fits right in with a lesson on Día de San Jordi/Día de la Rosa y el Libro.
