1/29/2015: Happy Groundhog's Day!

Groundhog’s Day is almost here! According to popular lore, if the groundhog sees his shadow on February 2nd we will be in for six more weeks of winter.  If he does not, we will get an early spring!  Probably the best-known groundhog is Phil in Punxsutawney, PA, "The Home of the Groundhog!" The official Groundhog’s Day site has a lot of great resources for educators.


If you are looking for another fun resource, your students will have fun learning interesting facts about Groundhog's Day and groundhogs when they read this play "Happy Groundhog's Day" and take part in the original card game "I Have, Who Has? – All about Groundhogs", included with the play. This fun, interactive game will have your class ask and answer questions to help reinforce facts and information shared in the play.

Written with 28 parts, the play is set at a school where the students meet the legendary groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, and are excited to learn all about Groundhog’s Day. Information about groundhogs is reviewed with a special game their teacher made for them.
