How I Celebrate

Worksheet Description

This worksheet celebrates Cinco de Mayo by inviting students to share their personal plans for the holiday. At the top, there is a space provided for the student’s name, making the activity a personal expression of their celebration ideas. The main feature of the worksheet is a large blank space, framed by a wavy border, where students can draw or write about their Cinco de Mayo festivities. To the right, inside the border, there’s a vibrant sticker-like image of a character dressed in traditional Mexican attire, adding a festive visual cue to the theme of the worksheet.

Below the drawing area, the worksheet poses a writing prompt: “How will you celebrate Cinco de Mayo?” This question encourages students to think about and plan for the holiday, and the lines beneath provide ample space for them to write a short paragraph detailing their celebration plans. This exercise not only allows for reflection on cultural traditions but also encourages written expression. It’s a suitable activity for both language arts and social studies classes as it enables students to explore cultural significance and personal engagement with Cinco de Mayo. The worksheet can serve as a conversation starter in the classroom, leading to discussions about history, traditions, and contemporary practices associated with the holiday.
