Lohri Festival

January 13

Lohri is a popular North Indian festival celebrated primarily in the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.

It marks the end of winter and the arrival of longer days and the harvest season.

Lohri is usually celebrated on January 13th, and it is an opportunity for communities to come together and celebrate with music, dance, and traditional foods.

In an early years setting celebrating Lohri can be a fun and educational way to introduce young children to the customs and traditions of this vibrant festival.

Here are some ideas for celebrating Lohri in early years education:

Craft Activities: Organize craft activities related to Lohri, such as making mini bonfires using tissue paper and cardboard tubes, or creating colorful kites using paper, string, and craft sticks.

Food Tasting: Introduce children to traditional Lohri foods, like popcorn, peanuts, sesame seeds, and jaggery. You can also serve dishes like Sarson ka Saag (mustard greens) and Makki di Roti (cornmeal flatbread) to give children a taste of Punjabi cuisine.

Traditional Dress: Encourage children to wear traditional Punjabi clothing, such as colorful kurtas, salwar kameez, or dupattas. This can help create a festive atmosphere and provide an opportunity to discuss the significance of these garments.

Music and Dance: Introduce children to traditional Punjabi music, such as Bhangra and Gidda. Teach them simple dance steps or encourage them to move to the rhythm of the music.

Cultural Discussions: Talk about the cultural significance of Lohri and its connection to the harvest season. Encourage children to share their own family traditions or experiences related to the festival, if applicable.

By celebrating Lohri in an early years setting, educators can help children develop an appreciation for diverse cultures and traditions, and create a foundation for understanding the importance of community celebrations. Remember to adapt the activities to the age and abilities of the children in your care to ensure a safe and enjoyable learning experience.
