1. Mai - Tag der Arbeit

Bräuche am 1. Mai
Der 1. Mai ist ein ganz besonderer Tag in Deutschland, denn die Menschen begrüßen das Blühen in der Natur mit Tanz, Feuer, Bowle und geschmückten Bäumen.

Der 1. Mai ist der Tag der Arbeit - the day of work, or the day which celebrates workers. Many demonstrations take place to fight for better rights and conditions for workers.

Mai ist der Monat der Liebe - May is the month for love; it signals the end of winter and many customs and traditions involve coupling, marriage, and the revealing of special feelings for each other.

Der 1. Mai ist auch Walpurgisnacht - The night for witches to dance, sing, and drink! Large bon fires are lit, and it's prime time for young people to play pranks.

Create a table with three columns. In groups of three, please take notes on your assigned resource. Please write down 5-8 new vocabulary words you learn along the way.

Person 1: Here is an article about the traditions of "Tag der Arbeit".

Person 2: Here are some pictures from around Germany on 1. Mai.  *This resource is the most challenging to use.

Person 3: Here is an article about Walpurgisnacht.

When your group is finished, share back to the group what you learned. You should complete your table / sheet of notes before class ends.
