If done together in pairs/small groups, the worksheet encourages students to collaborate, reiterating the importance of the stories and traditions associated with the holiday, and working together!

To fit the varying styles of students, we’ve included two versions of the activity: one with bright colors – to continue to foster excitement about the holiday, and a one-page version, with black and white outlines, so students can color their own worksheet to help with engagement!
