Valentine's Day is perhaps the most long-awaited holiday in English-speaking countries. But we definitely won’t challenge the title of the most romantic holiday!

On this day, declarations of love, beautiful congratulations are heard every now and then, cute toys, sweets and, of course, flowers are given. And even though in Russia this holiday has not yet gained the same scope as in the West, today we will tell you how in English-speaking countries they treat this day and celebrate it.

USA

In America, in principle, any holiday is raised to maximum heights and a real extravaganza is created around it. And when the occasion is so romantic, Americans have no equal here.

Since the beginning of February, all shop windows, cafes, hotels and clubs have been decorated with hearts. At the same time, each of the owners strives to demonstrate their original taste in a special way. Here you will see hearts made of papier-mâché, flowers, metal, cardboard, plastic and even marshmallows ( marshmallow- small marshmallow-like candies).

A little history

The first mass production of heart-shaped cards was organized in 1827 in Massachusetts.

The confectionery industry is in full swing and all the store windows are filled with beautiful chocolate sets, cakes and heart-shaped pastries. It is noteworthy that heart-shaped sweets began to be sold in America only in the mid-50s of the last century. Before this, it was customary to simply exchange red and white caramel or chocolates. But even earlier, in the 17-18th century, marzipan was considered the most valuable gift on this day. It's all about the shortage of sugar that was imported into the country. Because of its high price, only very rich people or madly in love could afford to give marzipan as a gift.

Holiday traditions

It is not customary to give expensive gifts in the USA on this day, unless it is an engagement. Still, it is believed that Valentine's Day is a way to say about your feelings and nothing more!

How do you feel about this holiday? And are you going to celebrate it? Share in your comments and be sure to subscribe to the news so as not to miss useful materials about English language and traditions.

The 14th of February Valentine's Day, or Valentine's Day. Of course not really children's party, if you delve into history, but for children the very festive atmosphere of this day is important. In addition, you can confess your love and gratitude to your parents and loved ones, as well as to dear teachers and educators. Therefore, you should not miss Valentine's Day in English lessons with preschoolers.

Therefore short and simple poems in English, dedicated to the Day Saint Valentine's, will be very useful. After all, it will be even more pleasant for loved ones if the confession is made by the child in verse, and even in English! The child, in turn, will gain new words and expressions, and, seeing the pride and joy of his parents, will strive even more for new successes in English. These poems may also be useful to you if you are organizing a party dedicated to this bright holiday and want the children to perform poems.

So, below are simple poems in English with semantic translation.

One, two,
I love you.
One, two, three,
You love me.

One two,
I love you.
One two Three,
Do you love me.

One, one, one,
I love the sun.
Two, two, two,
I love my Mummy too!
Three, three, three,
My Mummy loves me.
Four, four, four,
I love her more and more.

1, 1, 1,
I love the sun.
2, 2, 2,
I also love my mom!
3, 3, 3,
My mom loves me.
4, 4, 4,

You're a special friend of mine,
