Holidays Around the World

"Passports please! Buckle your seatbelts!" These are things our kindergarten students heard while imagining themselves traveling the globe to learn about holidays and celebrations around the world.

Our kindergarten students learned a lot about our world by learning about different holidays celebrated in North America and around the world. Students made passports that were stamped each day as we visited and learned about different holidays. Students made a craft for each celebration. This unit was a lot of fun for our kindergarten students and they learned a lot about the different celebrations around the world. 

In North America a Christmas tradition is hanging stockings. 
We threaded our own stockings and hung them up by the window.

In North America Hannukah is celebrated and a candle on the Menorah is lit each
night. Students decorated a Menorah from beans, lentils, and pasta.

Ramadan is also celebrated in North America.  Lanterns are used as
decorations.  Students decorated a lantern of their own.



Kwanza is celebrated in North America.  We made Kinara headbands.


We visited Antarctica where it is very cold.  We decorated snowflake ornaments.
