Holiday Lessons and Resources
I was asked about holiday websites and lessons, so I thought I would compile some good finds.
Cindy Putnam brings up a good idea in her latest blog post: Discovery Streaming. Try searching for videos and images by the name of the holiday, or religion associated with it.
Holidays Around the World Glossary – A little bit about everything.
Holidays Around the World Reference – From World Book Online, and includes other online reference links. November and December mark one of the busiest, most important holiday seasons of the year around the world. With such major holidays as Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s Eve, November and December are full of revelry, celebration, and solemn religious occasions.
ZuZu: Holidays From Around the World – Kids from various countries explain their holidays and unique memories and experiences.
Kidlink Multicultural Calendar — KIDLINK students and KIDLEADERs have made this calendar possible. Included in the files you will find the unique ways our KIDLINK kids are celebrating their country’s holidays and festivals. The entries might contain recipes for holiday foods, historical background, significance of the holidays and the special ways in which these days are observed. Our calendar entries are rich in local customs that perhaps cannot be found in books.
Holiday Lesson Plans and Resources – Huge. Some are good, but you need to sift.
