Inquiry Task - Christmas Around The World

Christmas is celebrated in many different ways across the world. And in some countries, not at all. Your task is to research how two different countries celebrate Christmas and present your findings in a creative way of your choice.

You could focus on:

• Traditions

• Food

• Decorations

• Clothing

• Weather and seasons

• Music and dance

• Religion and beliefs

• Special events

• Santa traditions

• Festivals that happen instead of or as well as Christmas

Choose TWO countries from the list below (or pick your own with permission):
Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Africa, India, Poland, Iceland, Philippines.

Show your learning creatively in any format you like, for example:

• Poster

• Google Slides

• A 3D model

• Report or fact file

• Video presentation
