This is not exactly an activity, but a question. Do you have any fun and creative activity to celebrate this Thursday St. Patrick's Day in class?

I have selected some short videos from YouTube to use in my classes of Vocational Training and do some speaking (there are pints and beer, but they are adults, so there will be no problem. I think they may be used also in upper stages of Secondary Education). I share with you the links so that you can use them if you like them or if you think they could be useful:
