All Souls’ Day, also known as Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) in Mexico, is observed on November 2nd each year. This celebration is a time to honour and remember loved ones who have passed away. While All Souls’ Day is traditionally a Christian observance, the Day of the Dead is a blend of indigenous traditions and Catholic beliefs.
Here are some age-appropriate activities that could be used to introduce children to Día de los Muertos.
Storytelling: Read age-appropriate books that explain the traditions of All Souls’ Day and the Day of the Dead in a sensitive and accessible way.
Art and Craft: Children could create colourful paper marigolds, which are often used in Day of the Dead celebrations. They could also try their hand at making simple versions of ‘papel picado’ – a traditional Mexican craft that involves cutting intricate patterns into colourful tissue paper.
Face Painting: With the appropriate materials and consent from parents / carers, you could do simple face painting inspired by the colourful sugar skull designs associated with the Day of the Dead.
Remember, it’s important to approach these activities with sensitivity and respect for cultural traditions. Engage in open conversations with the children about the importance of respecting all cultures and their unique ways of remembering loved ones.
