About this worksheet

Holidays are special times when people may remember an event, honour beliefs or values, welcome a season or new year, give thanks, and gather with others. No family celebrates every holiday, and families who share a holiday may practise it in different ways. This worksheet uses carefully stated examples: one family lights lamps for Diwali, another gives red envelopes for Lunar New Year, and others may light a menorah, share an Eid meal, decorate a Christmas tree, light a kinara, give thanks, or watch a community parade. Support items match a named celebration with one clear tradition. Standard questions consider why the action matters. Challenge items compare traditions and choose respectful responses to unfamiliar celebrations. Watch for a child treating one example as a rule for every family. Use phrases such as ‘some families’ and ‘this family’ to preserve both accuracy and respect.

What your child will learn

  • Recognise that families celebrate different holidays
  • Match several named holidays with example traditions
  • Understand that a celebration can remember or honour something
  • Respond respectfully to a tradition that is new to you

Worked example

This family lights small lamps for Diwali. Lighting lamps is their tradition, while another family may observe the holiday in additional ways.

Common mistake

Assuming every family celebrates the same holidays or follows exactly the same tradition.
