This resource is a scavenger hunt for students to learn about different celebrations we have around the world.
It presents the following challenge:
Milli, the elf, believes that everyone celebrates Christmas. What do you think? We are going to accompany her on a journey through different cultures to find out what kind of celebrations they have and answer this question.
To answer this challenge, students will have 10 cards with a short text explaining different celebrations around the world. At the end of the text there is a question that has the answer in another of the texts.
Students should record the answers and this will give them the clues for the keyword and answer the challenge.
The answer sheet has the presentation of the challenge and you also have a power point presentation. At the end of the presentation you will find 4 slides with some optional reflection questions. If you want to use them, you can ask your students to respond by sharing with a classmate, a group, or by taking notes in their notebook.
