Hi people how do u do?

This message is for my Portuguese colleagues (but if anyone can give me a good answer, please feel free to suggest something)
Here it goes:
I give private lessons to some 10th graders, and one of the students told me that her teacher had told the class  that they are have to  do a research work till the end of the 1st term.
She told her students that they have to talk about an English custom/tradition or a custom/tradition om from an English speaking country that we celebrate here in Portugal.
When she told me about that I could only think about Halloween but that is too obvious and probably other students are going to talk about it.
Can u think about another English custom/tradition or  an English speaking country custom or tradition that we celebreate here in Portugal?Ermm
My head is full of worries and I cannot think properly about this, probably it �s too obvious, but I don �t remember...
Hugs and thanks a lot for your reply...
Have a good evening

Hi, morganalin, Boa noite!
I may be wrong, but what about hiding Easter eggs and looking for them. I think it �s a british/American tradition that we celebrate in portugal. (not so popular as HALLOWEEN but students know about it.) In Portuguese school, in AECs activities (1� ciclo), our colleagues usually play hide and seek eater eggs.
hope I �ve helped you.
Cumprimentos,
Concei��o
