To celebrate this noble feeling it was deemed fit to have a day dedicated to friends and friendship. Accordingly, the first Sunday of August was declared as a holiday in US in honor of friends by a proclamation made by US Congress in Since then, World Friendship Day has been celebrated every year on the first Sunday in August. In honor of Friendship Day, in 1998, Nane Annan, wife of Secretary-General Kofi_Annan, named Winnie the Pooh as the world s Ambassador of Friendship at the United Nations. But in 2011, the United Nations proclaimed the International Day of Friendship with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, and cultures can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities. The UN wanted the day to involve young people, as future leaders, in community activities that include different cultures and promote international understanding, peace and respect for diversity. It is observed on July 30 each year. On this International Day of Friendship, let us cultivate warm ties that strengthen our common humanity and promote the well-being of the human family.

Ask them if they know about the International Friendship Day and supply some information about it. Hand students the worksheets with the Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and read the ingredients. Go to the school kitchen to prepare the cookies. Read the recipe and explain the vocabulary through mimicry: pour, mix, etc. Invite them to participate as much as possible. Invite different students to help you. While the cookies are baking, dictate a short paragraph about a four legged friend (explain that they are pets with four legs.) and ask students to draw it.
