Winter Celebrations LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Winter celebrations often involve light and food, because the days are short and the weather is hard. Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains with lamps and fireworks. Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa each involve lighting candles. The winter solstice, around 21 December, is the shortest day of the year, and many older festivals were built around it. After the solstice the days start getting longer again, which is why so many winter festivals are about hope. Questions: 1 Why do winter celebrations often involve light? 2 What is the winter solstice? 3 Why are many winter festivals about hope? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
