Create and Celebrate: Hands-on projects is a book of student activities that complements the teacher resource Time to Celebrate. The book contains a wide range of enjoyable activities for students and includes model making, dioramas, recipes and plays.
The activities included in the book centre around the celebration of ten festivals and celebrations. The creative and hands-on approach means that students will be actively involved in focused and powerful learning. Art, craft and food can also be used as easy, accessible and engaging introductions to the study of celebrations, festivals and the Asian region. Visual and kinesthetic learners in particular will benefit from the design-make-appraise model of learning. The activities have minimal requirements for materials and preparation. Teachers and students will find them both fun and educational.
