What is a Festival?
Lesson 1
What is a Festival?
Learning Objectives and Outcomes Children will be able to name and describe days they celebrate throughout the year. They will recognise the difference between holidays and religious festivals. They will understand that religious festivals are occasions for remembering particular events.
Resources Timeline - either on whiteboard or just a line and pegs to pin up names of celebrations in order. A bank of pictures showing festivals and celebrations - either on a whiteboard or as hard copies. A large poster sized piece of paper for each group, crayons, pencils, scissors and small pieces of paper, glue.
Introduction
Ask children if they know what a festival is. What do we mean when we say we are going to celebrate? Once children have described and understood these terms ask them about ways they celebrate - gifts, cards, food, activities, etc.
Main Lesson
Drawing events from the children make a list of all the events they celebrate. These could include birthdays, weddings, achievements, holidays, religious festivals. Once the children have exhausted their ideas pictures could be shown on the whiteboard or held up individually. Ask children to name the event and identify whether or not it had already been included on the list.
Ask if the children how a religious festival differs from an event such as a holiday. Suggest some children to come out and underline the events on the list that are religious festivals. Having agreed that all those underlined are religious festivals or holy days ask why it is important that we celebrate them. Try to include festivals from a variety of religions.
Talk to the children about the times in the year when we celebrate these events and record them on a timeline as they occur throughout the year.
Ask children to choose any event on a timeline and discuss with a partner how it is celebrated. Do both children celebrate it in the same way? As a class get pairs to feed back details of their celebrations. Question children as to why we might give gifts or eat certain food on these occasions. Discuss the fact we are sharing and celebrating together as a family or community.
Activity
Divide children into small groups and ask each to choose a different religious festival. It may be useful to group children of the same religion together here so that they have firsthand knowledge if the festival they are describing.
Give each group a large poster sized piece of paper, small pieces of paper, crayons, pencils and scissors. Ask children to record everything they can about the way the festival chosen is celebrated. They should include drawings, lists and written accounts.
Plenary
Share posters made by each group. Compare things that are the same and different in the way we celebrate the festivals depicted on the posters.
Assessment Can children name at least one religious festival celebrated each year? Can they describe the way it is celebrated? Can they give the reason it is celebrated?
Extension Activities
Children could research how a festival they celebrate is celebrated in a different part of the world. They could research a festival from a faith other than their own and compare its similarities and differences.
ICT Opportunities
Children could use the internet to find out more festivals and celebrations.
