New Year Traditions Around the World | Brief Reading Packet

Teacher Tip: New Year Traditions Around the World collection is perfect for a “Classroom Travel Challenge!” With over 180 countries represented, you can have students “travel” to a new destination virtually every morning during the month of January. I suggest having students choose a country they’ve never heard of to research further, or use these brief snippets as prompts for a Global Comparison Journal. It’s an incredible way to celebrate diversity and show students that while our traditions differ from eating grapes in Spain to first-footing in Scotland the hope for a fresh start is a universal human experience.
