Bow tie day

The bow tie has its origins, not in France like many think, but in Croatia. The French military forces had seen the way the Croatian soldiers tied the necktie in order to keep the collars of their shirts together during the Thirty Year War.

 

What to do on that special day? Pretty simple! Make your own bow tie and wear it!

Children can use whatever fabric they want and just follow the instructions. You can even have it as a reading / listening comprehension exercise in a foreign language.
