Dive into the vibrant and culturally enriching world of the Day of the Dead with this comprehensive set of activities! This pack was designed to engage your Middle School students and promote a deeper understanding of this unique celebration.

This comprehensive activities pack includes an original reading passage about the Day of the Dead and is complemented by different forms of assessment (reading comprehension questions, a Multiple Choice quiz, and a True or False activity) that foster comprehension and critical thinking. Pick the one you think is best for your students, or use all of them... they can be asigned as homework, too! ✨

Also included in this pack is a "Fill in the Gaps" activity for students to complete a short text about "Día de los Muertos" with specific vocabulary related to this celebration, and a Word Search. Want more? Worksheets with FIVE writing prompts are in this pack, too!

I recommend using this resource mainly with Middle School and High School students, but it could also be used with Grade 6 students. These activities are also suitable for ESL/ELL students who have an Upper Elementary (A2) or Intermediate level of English (B1-B2).
