Why is it celebrated?
This is a Buddhist holiday celebrating the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha. It conveys a universal message of peace to mankind.
What takes place at the celebrations.
They assemble at their temples, sometimes with gifts of flowers, candles and joss-sticks to sing hymns of praise. They are renewing their promise to follow the teachings of Buddha (The Dhamma) – to lead noble lives, to develop their minds, to practise lovingkindness and to bring peace and harmony to humanity. Often they wear white on the day and spend most of the day in the temples renewing their vows to follow Buddha’s teachings.
A special effort is made to bring happiness to those less fortunate – the sick, the disabled and the aged. Gifts and cash are distributed by the Monks to various needy areas. An interesting fact.
Vegetables only are eaten for the day. Killing is discouraged so meat is not eaten.

Vesak Activity Vesak is about peace, kindness, goodness, learning and harmony. As a whole class, discuss things you can do to be kind and good. Record the ideas that the children have. Have children discuss important things they need to do to make friends (world peace) and record these. These could focus on school or home, or the wider community. One of the symbols of Buddha’s birth and enlightenment is the lotus flower. Create a lotus flower and attach an action statement to the bottom, e.g. I will include everyone in the games I play; I will play fairly; I will help my Mum at home, I will help the elderly whenever I see a need, I will remember to include children with disabilities in play, etc. Extension (community action): Vesak involves distributing gifts and cash to the sick, the disabled and the aged. Discuss how children could do the same – e.g. write poems and attach to gifts and distribute to the local aged care facility; organise a fundraiser to raise money for equipment for a local child with disabilities, make cards for a student going through illness, etc.

Diwali…Teacher Information Where is it held?
Mainly in India, but also in Mauritius, Nepal, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Japan, Thailand, South Africa, Kenya & Tanzania, Britain, Australia, Trinidad & Tobago , Guyana, Surinam, Fiji
When does it take place?
This depends on the moon but it is either in November or December.
Why is it celebrated?
This is a Hindu celebration. It is named after the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes. This is to symbolise the inner light that protects us from spiritual darkness. It has significant importance to Indians…similar to our Christmas and many Indians celebrate it whether they are Hindu or not.
What takes place at the celebrations.
Although it varies in “why” it is celebrated (defeat of Ravana, or Narakasura, or King Bali), the common belief is that it is a celebration of Good over Evil…to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge. There are 5 days of Diwali involving worship, celebration, feasting, and gift giving. Each day has a myth or legend behind it. These “stories” seem to vary significantly between regions of India and between countries. During the celebrations, colourful Rangoli designs are made on the floor of the living room or entranceway, to welcome Goddess Lakshmi - the Goddess of Wealth. These are usually done in vibrant colours using rice flour, flower petals, coloured rice or coloured sand.
An interesting fact.

Make a Rangoli- INSTRUCTIONS Step 1: Draw or trace a design on cardboard using our designs (we have provided 4). Don’t make the cardboard too big as it will need too much rice to decorate. You can make very small ones about birthday card size or alternatively, make a very large class one or group ones. Sand can be used instead. Note: to help with design drawing, give students shapes to trace. Step 2: Pour rice into 3-4 large bowls. Colour with food colouring or dye…just add a drop at a time as a little goes a long way. It is very messy so wear gloves and check for allergies in children.
Step 3: Cover tables with newspaper so that it is easier to scoop up the rice mess at the end of the lesson and bin it. Make sure students have paint shirts on. Cover the design with glue that dries clear.
Step 4: Divide the rice between the students.
Step 5: Let them make their own patterns. Press the rice into the glue.
Allow to dry at tables or careful move to drying racks. Scoop up the newspapers with the scattered rice and save for later or place in bin for easy clean up.

Ramadan…Teacher Information Where is it held?
In Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, America and anywhere in the world.
When does it take place?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It begins at the beginning of the ninth month and varies depending on when the crescent moon is first seen. The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and the beginning of each month is determined by when the new moon is seen.
Why is it celebrated?
The annual fast is considered one of the five Pillars of Islam. It began around 610 A.D. when Muhammad received a visit from the angel Gabriel who gave him instructions to start transcribing the Quran (Koran) from God’s literal speech. Fasting provides an opportunity to be reminded of the suffering and the poor and to cleanse the body and mind.
What takes place at the celebrations.
During this month Muslims fast during daylight hours. It is also a time to refrain from food, drink and evil (actions, thoughts and words). This is to purify the soul, turn attention to God and embark on selfsacrifice. It is a time for Muslims to reflect on their lives in light of Islamic guidance. It is a time to make peace with those that have harmed us, strengthen family bonds and get rid of bad habits. Although Muslims fast all day during the month of Ramadan, they eat before sunrise and again after sunset where they eat special foods and participate in festivities. Ramadan concludes with a 3 day festival called Eid or Eid ul-Fitr which translates to break the fast.
An interesting fact.
Children are not required to observe the fasting of Ramadan until puberty but families may allow children to practice fasting for part of the day or to participate in another way. Often children receive gifts at the end of Ramadan.
Copyright TeachEzy 2015 @ teachezy.com
The 5 Pillars of Islam As a Muslim, there is 5 duties that need to be done and these are called the Five Pillars of Islam. Shahadah This is a declaration that you only worship Allah and his messenger Muhammad. It is recited in Arabic and then in the person’s own language. Salah (or Zalat) This is the daily prayer which is done 5 times a day. This is to remind worshippers of Allah and to do good in your life. You pray facing the Ka’ba in Mekkah which is in Saudi Arabia. The five prayers are called Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. These prayers take place throughout the day beginning very early in the morning and finally between nightfall and dawn. Zakah (or Zakat) Zakah is paid once per year if you can afford it. A percentage is taken from you savings to give to the poor and can be monetary or in the form of jewellery, cattle, crops, etc. It is a way of helping those less fortunate. It amounts to 2.5% of a person’s savings. Sawm This the act of fasting – see Ramadan. Hajj
This involves the pilgrimage to Mekkah in Saudi Arabia and all Muslims are encouraged to make this pilgrimage if they can afford it. It is performed in the 12th month of the Islamic calendar. At Mekkah is situated the Ka’ba which is the first place built to worship Allah. Those not making the pilgrimage will celebrate at home by praying a special prayer called Eid in the morning and will follow this by spending the day with family and friends.

Crescent Moon Craft The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and the beginning of each month is determined by when the new moon is seen…the first visible crescent. Ramadan begins in the ninth month and depends on when the crescent moon is first seen. A crescent moon is part way between a half moon and a new moon, or between a new moon and a half moon. When you look to the sky and visibly sight the slight crescent moon (hilal) that marks the beginning of the month, the next day is the first day of Ramadan and thus the first day of fasting. Alternatively, cut out the images to form a stencil. Paint a night sky. Leave to dry and using a roller, stencil on the moon and star using a roller or sponge.
Copy the attached outlines onto card. Colour or paint the moon and stars and hang against a black sky (background).

Hanukkah…Teacher Information Where is it held?
In Jewish communities all around the world.
When does it take place?
It begins on the 25th of the Jewish month of Kislev around late November/December. The Jewish calendar is lunar based so Hanukkah falls on different days each year.
Why is it celebrated?
The word Hanukkah means dedication in Hebrew. It celebrates the re-dedication of the holy Temple in Jerusalem after the victory over the Syrian-Greeks in 165 B.C.E. The Jewish temple had ben seized by soldiers to worship the God Zeus and Jews were ordered to worship Greek Gods. Rebels led by Mattathias fought to retake their land. After victory, they returned to their temple to boil oil and purify it but there was only 1 day’s worth of oil left. They lit this anyway and it lasted 8 days. This is the miracle of the Hanukkah oil that is celebrated each year.
What takes place at the celebrations.
Jews light a candle on the first night, 2 on the second and so on until 8 candles are lit on the 8th night. Hanukkah in modern times has become similar to Christmas in celebrations where Jewish children receive gifts – usually one for each of the eight nights.
An interesting fact.
Because Hanukkah celebrates the oil miracle, fried foods are traditionally eaten like sufganiyot (jelly filled donuts) and latkes (like pancakes from potato and onion with apple sauce)
