Pen Pal Letters
Materials: Paper, Pencil or Pen, a list of students from a school in Serbia

Each student will pair up with a student in Serbia and become pen pals. They will be given the students name and will write the student a letter in class. The teacher will then collect the letters and mail them to the teacher at the school in Serbia. In the letter the students should include some questions they may have for the students about what we have learned about Serbia in class. They may also include some information about the United States. The students should tell their pen pals a little bit about themselves, what their interests are, their year in school, a little bit about their family. This activity will continue throughout the rest of the school year, and at the end of the year the students are welcome to include their address in their letters if they would like to continue to write their pen pal after the school year ends.

Serbian Dancing
Materials: Youtube video, dancing skills

In groups of 4 students will watch a video on how to dance a Serbian Folk dance. They will have 20 minutes to practice their dance. After their 20 minutes are up each group will take turns showing the dance they have learned to the class.
