Free Printable 'Dia de los Muertos' (Day of the Dead) Activities
El Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, commemorates the lives of beloved dead. Day of the Dead is the Latino
version of Catholic All Saints Day and All Souls Day, November 1 and 2. Dia de
los Muertos traditions include creating family altars to honor the dead,
visiting loved ones' graves and having picnics at the cemetery to be near the
departed. Human skulls and skeletons are integral Dia de los Muertos symbols.
Items are designed to look like skulls: candles, food and sugar skulls. People
paint their faces to represent a skull (called a calavera). Some Halloween
traditions developed from Day of the Dead but unlike Halloween, Day of the Dead
isn't about scaring people. It's a religious holiday, culminating the Catholic
holy days with pre-Columbian Aztec, Mixtec, Olmec and Toltec rituals of Mexico.

plans to teach students about this popular cultural holiday, read

Many
parents, particularly Christian parents, don't celebrate Halloween. But don't
mistake Day of the Dead skull for Halloween and ignore this rich, cultural
festival. And don't let the skulls and skeletons freak you out. They show honor
to the dead, not ghoulish fascination with death. These are as reverently handled
as the nativity scenes at Christmas. And educators, if you teach ESL, please
consider hosting a Day of the Dead party for students. It's good to learn about
each other's cultures plus it makes Hispanic students feel more at homeFree Printable Bible Craft Activities, Sunday School Lessons

Moses, the Exodus, Samuel, Samson and Delilah, Gideon, Joshua, David and
