Instructional Ideas

  • Make the packet part of center rotations, guide small groups through the completion of each page
  • Send the packet home for learners to work on with their family over winter break 
  • If you have a pupil who celebrates Kwanzaa, invite their family to come to the class and share about their traditions 

Classroom Considerations

  • Younger grades will require more guidance
  • Pages are black and white 
  • Kwanzaa takes place from December 26th through January 1st

Pros

  • Presents information in a fun, kid-friendly manner 
  • Pages are well formatted

Cons

  • None
