Opposite Day
Opposite Day is on January 24th each year.It is a strange but fun day.Whatever you say on this day must be the opposite of what you mean.If you say 'yes'，you mean 'no'.Opposite Day can be a very useful day for students to get out vocabulary notebooks and find the opposites to different words.Students could focus on prefixes that are used to give a word an opposite meaning，for example， 'un' in 'unhelpful' and 'unnecessary'，or 'il' in 'illegal' and 'illogical'.
Inspire Your Heart With Art Day
January the 31st is Inspire Your Heart With Art Day.On this day，you can create your very own work of art or go and visit art museums.People should take the time to find out art and make it a bigger part of their lives.Art can change our way of looking at the world.Unluckily，many of us stop being creative when we move from childhood to adulthood.There is so much art around us but many people take little notice of it.There is so much art in the places we work，live and play in that we don't even have to step into an art museum.
