Happy Labor Day to all hard working au pairs!

Labor Day is a legal holiday in the USA, celebrated on the first Monday of September. It was established in 1882 to provide working people with a guaranteed free day for rest and enjoyment. Most Americans celebrate Labor Day by having picnics, parades, and cookout. Many rush to the stores to take advantage of big discounts offered by the retailers.

Make a great collage by cutting pictures of workers from magazines and gluing them to poster board.

Ask your host kids the names of professions in English and then tell them the names of those professions in your language.
– teacher
– policeman
– doctor
– nurse
Give them a star or thumbs up if they can remember the words at the end of the day!

Tip: Start with names that are easy to pronounce. Pielegniarka (nurse in Polish) may be too much of a challenge! 🙂
Another option may be the phrase “Good job!” – “Dobra robota!”

Most of all, remember to have FUN!
