This is a PPT I used an an introductory ESL lesson, just after Spring Festival in China. I used it to spur debate on the topic of World Festivals. It contains no descriptions; just a picture and name of the festival. See http://davidteaching.blogspot.com/2017/02/world-festivals-esl-lesson.html for the full lesson plan.

2. Instructions
 Look at the list of 10 strange festivals.
Do you know any of them? Which ones

 You will be given one minute to look at
each picture. Discuss with a partner
after you have seen all 10 pictures.
