Time for some fun! 

Why do we celebrate carnival ?

Who celebrates carnival?

Which countries celebrate
carnival (in the world)?

Which country would
you go to? Why?

Carnival is a Catholic festival that happens over 3 days, usually just before Lent, in February or March.  Lent is a 40 day season of prayer and fasting that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Thursday. 

Because traditionally many people go on a fast during Lent, giving up meat, sugar or other foods and drink; carnival is an opportunity to enjoy these treats for the last time.

Carnival is celebrated in many Catholic countries all over the world.

This is also the reason why carnaval is only celebrated in the Catholic South of the Netherlands (N-Brabant and Limburg)

Choose one country from the video.
Why would you go there?
Would you dress up?

Let's see how well you know carnival music!

You'll see part of a translated carnival song. Write down the name of the artist and title of the song!

I see them left, I see them right
One waddles and the other walks straight
I see them left, I see them right
I can’t get enough because I’m crazy silly mad

come on, let us go to the south
where carnaval originated
I was born here, I became happy

because if I need to go to sleep, eyes up to the sky,
you say, can you see it?
If I am not around anymore think of this line,
then, you will never be alone again

There’s a horse in the hall, yes yes a horse in the hall
Oo a horse in neighbour Jansen’s hall
There’s a horse in the hall, yes yes a horse in the hall
O o a horse in the hall, a horse and tail

My mum said; don't do that
but I did it anyway
yes, I know, she told me
but sometimes it is fun to do something wrong

It's raining, it's hailing and the driver doesn't see anything.
my umbrella is gone, damn, I am unlucky
throw your hands up in the air and......wiper

I am so in love, really in love
when I see you I am happy I'm alive
I am so in love
