Look Inside: Holiday Fun Around the World (Updated Version) | Celebrations Around the World

[Music] hey everybody Welcome to the wall doway I'm Jessica and today's video is going to be a look inside our recently updated holiday fun around the world now before I show you inside at all of the new updates if you have purchased holiday fun around the world in the past you should have already received an email with a new download to the updates you do not have to repurchase to get any of the updates if you did not receive that email I'm going to leave um my email in the description just shoot me an email and I will get you a copy of it all right let's go ahead and take a look inside inside holiday fun around the world we have an introduction page and then we have the holiday overview what I love about this is that it means I don't have to think so we have all 32 of the holidays that are in included Epiphany Lunar New Year Valentine's Marty gr Pi Day St Patrick's Day vernal equinox the holy Festival Passover Easter Ramadan Earth Day Arbor Day May Day Cinco de Mayo juneth the summer solstice Independence Day autumnal equinox Halloween Dia de los MOS Thanksgiving dwali St Nicholas Day St Lucy's Day Las padas Hanukkah winter Solstice Christmas Quanza New Year's Eve and Oka but also we have the date that those holidays fall on for the next 5 years so 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 now when we do this unit study I sit down with my planner and I go ahead and just fill all of these dates in so I don't even have to think about it it's already done and when we get to that week I can just pull the study out of this unit and we're good to go there is a celebrate around the world track your journey map and then there is an around the world section that works for anytime during the study there are supplemental books YouTube video playlist Pinterest board and additional suggestions like other resources that would work well and then we jump right into the first holiday which is Epiphany or Three Kings Day you do not need anything additional for the study there's extra resources listed but you don't need them because I've included a non-fiction passage here so here is information about the holiday here are discussion questions you can discuss with your child after either they've read it or you've read it aloud here is a YouTube playlist with a QR code and a link as well as a Pinterest board if you want extra crafts there are some suggested books for additional reading if you want to check those out from your library or if you want to see if you already have them and then there is a recipe ingredients and directions for each of the holidays there's also a custom coloring page there is a graphic organizer or notebooking page where your child can record what they've learned so the date or dates this this holiday is celebrated who celebrates it what exactly is celebrated the food that's eaten and the Traditions or rituals what I love about this is that your child can draw they can write whatever suits them best it's open-ended so it gives them room and flexibility there is also now a word search as well as a crossword puzzle for each of the studies and so each study repeats itself in a similar fashion we have also now listed the individual holidays in the shop as well so maybe you're only interested in the Lunar New Year you can just purchase this individual one you do get the better deal by purchasing the bundle but maybe you don't want all 32 holidays maybe that seems overwhelming so you could just purchase Lunar New Year and you would get this reading with the discussion questions this Resource page that's going to give you the additional reading the YouTube playlist the crafts the recipe the custom coloring page the notebooking page the word search and the cross word puzzle so a great little mini unit that you can do in probably a few days in your home school now like I said each holiday repeats in a very similar fashion so I'm just going to let you take a peek at that [Music] and then in the back we have a few extras those extras include a passport that you can create so this would fold and force and you would write you know the celebrations that you attended and when you attended them draw a picture or put a picture there in the name age and date issued of the child there is also a boarding pass so Emily used still like me to wear a little Pilot's hat um and I would write her name and the celebration that we were getting ready to attend and we would like pretend to fly there there are ornaments where you can have them draw different images of the celebration you can hang them on a tree or if you're not doing this at the Holiday maybe you don't have a tree up there are pennants where you could create a pennant banner and then string it up um with yarn or ribbon and no Wallock Way Unit study is ever complete without a game so holiday fun around the world does come with a trivia game it is really simple you would just roll a dice and for example I got a two so I would move two spaces and each symbol represents either holidays Traditions or food so I landed on Traditions which would be this card and you can see here that the question is for this holiday people often cut down pine trees and decorate them in their homes now you can see in the bottom left hand corner it says C because the answer is in course see Christmas and then you would just keep rolling and moving until somebody reached the end [Music]
