1 Cinco de Mayo (intermediate level) 1
2 CINCO DE MAYO 1. You don't have to be Mexican to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. In fact, more Americans celebrate this holiday than Mexicans. Do you think of May 5th as Mexico's 4th of July? It's not! Mexico's Independence Day is actually on September 16th. 2. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican army's win over France at The Battle of Puebla in This was a difficult win. France had a much larger army than Mexico. President Juarez declared May 5th a national holiday to inspire his country's army to keep fighting. France eventually returned to Mexico with a much bigger army and occupied the area. The French army marched on to take over Mexico City. In 1862, the US was in its own civil war and was unable to help Mexico. After the French occupation in Mexico, the civil war ended in the US. America was in a better position to help Mexico regain its independence. 3. In the state of Puebla, Cinco de Mayo is a big deal, but it is not a national holiday. In Mexico, businesses and schools remain open on the fifth of May. Internationally, Cinco de Mayo is becoming more commercialized. Many Mexicans compare it to Ireland's St. Patrick's Day. Everyone wants an excuse to have Mexican night! 4. Cinco de Mayo celebrations feature Mexican food, drinks, and dancing. Typical Mexican fare includes tacos, enchiladas, and chili. Adult partiers wash down the spicy food with frozen margaritas and Mexican beer. Traditional Mexican food is not the same as Tex-Mex. For example, Mexicans don't add melted cheddar cheese to tacos! 5. Mexican culture is colorful and upbeat. This is why people outside of Mexico are attracted to it. The official colors of Cinco de Mayo are red, white, and green. These are the colors of Mexico's flag, which is held high on this important date. Children celebrate Cinco de Mayo by breaking open piñatas. They wear blindfolds and take turns striking at paper mache animals or Mexican themed figures. Piñatas are hollow inside and are filled with treasures and candy. Did you know that the piñata tradition actually came from Italy? Many North American children have piñatas at their birthday parties. 2
3 CINCO DE MAYO - continued 6. Cinco de Mayo celebrations also feature mariachi music. The mariachi ensemble plays violins, trumpets, and various types of guitar including the high-pitched vihuela and the deep bass guitarron. You'll know a mariachi band by the classic shout known as the "grito mexicano". The audience and the musicians may sing this part. Mariachi musicians dress in matching suits with shiny buttons. They also wear traditional Mexican hats called sombreros. The Mexican hat relay is a great game to play on Cinco de Mayo. Teams face off down a long hallway. Each player has to dance as fast as he can around a sombrero before returning to his spot. This game is a spin off of the Mexican Hat dance, the traditional dance of Mexico. READING COMPREHENSION A.

The first person should shout the word "Mexico". 3. The next person says a word related to Mexico, such as "sunshine". 4. The next person says a word related to sunshine such as "sky". 5.
