Running Dictation
 Choose a team member to be the writer.
The rest of the team members are
“runners”. The runners must go to the text
on the wall. Each runner has to memorize
one line at a time and dictate it to the
writer. You have until the time runs out.
The winning team has the most correctly
written lines!
 Quick history:
Though released ahead of Christmas
1971, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"
and its origins go back several years
earlier. The song's context is the
Vietnam War era and the 1960s
counterculture, when Lennon and Ono
were peace activists involved in the
antiwar movement.

 Did you know?
IT WAS THE FIRST SONG TO BE A HIT IN FOUR SEPARATE DECADES.
The song has charted every single holiday season since its release 27 years
ago (crazy, I know!), which means 2020 marked the fourth straight decade that
the song was a number one hit in—something no other artist has ever done!

MARIAH HAS WON THREE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS FOR THE SONG.
And in no particular order, they are: highest-charting holiday (Christmas/New
Year) song on the Billboard U.S. Hot 100 by a solo artist, most streamed song on
Spotify in 24 hours, and most weeks in the UK singles Top 10 chart for a
Christmas song.
