Holidays celebrated around the world are so interesting to study! We are all so accustomed to our own holidays that we don't think twice about them, where they came from or what they mean.
Inside this packet you will find resources to help you guide your students to THINK CRITICALLY about the holidays they celebrate and COMPARE and CONTRAST these holidays with celebrations around the world.
Enjoy!
