LISTEN TO A BOOK : THE KISS THAT MISSED

One evening, when the King is in a hurry, his goodnight kiss to the Little Prince goes astray. After rattling around the Prince's bedroom, it flies out the window and floats into the dark forest, where it has no business to be. The King decides to do something about it. He orders the Knight to climb on his horse, ride into the forest, and bring back the kiss. But the forest is filled with spooky things that frighten both the Knight and his horse. How will they ever succeed in bringing the kiss back to the castle?

A day of jokes and tricks, April Fool’s Day,
traditionally observed on the first of April, is not a legal holiday,
but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day which tolerates
practical jokes, general foolishness and other forms of mischief. Some  people love to spend days thinking up gags to pull on their friends and  family, while others love a little impromptu prank here and there. 
Worried about that prank your students are planning to hit you with this year? Don’t sweat it! Because one of our amazing (and devious) CELTA Teacher Trainers, Fiona Mulcahy, has cooked up this clever prank for you to play on your students first. Ha! It’s an educational prank, of course, so don’t worry about getting in trouble.
