September is Backpack Safety Month in the U.S.. Follow the link below to download a classroom activity in which students look at how to use a backpack correctly and describe what's inside their own backpack.
To get started, pick up one of your students' backpacks and ask them if they know the name of it in English. (Backpacks can also be called rucksacks, but the magazine article refers to them as backpacks.) Ask the class how many of them have brought a backpack to school with them today.
