Activity Purpose
The purpose of this resource is to provide an interactive and engaging way to learn about Diwali and the traditions and history surrounding this event. This activity involves reading comprehension strategies such as cloze reading (using context clues), visualizing, organizing information, and finding specific details.
As students read the fact cards, they have to hunt for information. This information-seeking process will involve reading and re-reading of the clue cards. The activity, therefore, mirrors the close reading skills you will be teaching your students throughout the year.
The students then synthesize their knowledge and understanding using the Diwali puzzle poster activity.
In this pack you will receive:
⭐️Ten Diwali Fact Cards
⭐️Eight puzzle pieces with a range of artistic and writing activities
⭐️Six central circle mandala designs (similar to the patterns of Rangoli that are made during Diwali)
⭐️Answer sheets
⭐️PowerPoint with context photos about Diwali
These puzzles come in two sizes. Choose the size that fits your purpose!
***When you download this resource, it comes with both British and US English spellings and printing sizes.***
