New Year Traditions Around the World | Short Reading and Art Coloring Sheets or New Year Illustrations

Teacher Tip: With over 180 countries included, this is the ultimate “inclusive classroom” resource! I recommend using these for a “Country of the Hour”, or let each student “adopt” a country that matches their own heritage to present to the class in January or Winter. Because New Year readings are short and paired with art, they are incredibly effective for differentiated instruction allowing your fast finishers to explore multiple cultures while providing accessible content for struggling readers. It’s a beautiful way to show that every corner of the globe has a unique way to celebrate New Year beginnings.
