The Greek Letters Day

Τα Ελληνικά γράμματα

30^th January “The Greek letters” day.

An activity for the Greek Letters Day 
and the three Hierarchs

(Οι Τρεις Ιεράρχες).

In my class this week we did the following activity.

It is a church shape card.

I used this picture with the 3 Hierarchs from this link

and I gave to pupils to colour it.

Then I did this template with the cross on top 

to look like a church.

From one side, in the middle, we glued the picture.

Over the picture pupils wrote 

“Οι 3 Ιεράρχες” and “30 Ιανουαρίου”.

To the left and to the right, pupils choose sentences to copy from the whiteboard that these wise saints had said.

Most of them chose

“ Η ειρήνη είναι το πιο γλυκό πράγμα στον κόσμο”

and

“Η καλή φιλία είναι θησαυρός”

They folded and in the front of the card, where the two are join, they did one coloured cross.

To the back, they wrote their name.

The Three Hierarchs (Οι Τρεις Ιεράρχες) refers to Basil the Great (Μέγας Βασίλειος), Gregory the Theologian (Γρηγόριος ο Θεολόγος) and John Chrysostom ( Ιωάννης ο Χρυσόστομος).
