      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
