Draw And Write Three

Worksheet Description

This worksheet titled “Symbols of Mardi Gras” invites students to engage with the iconic symbols that represent the Mardi Gras festivities. The activity sheet provides spaces for students to draw and write about three different symbols of Mardi Gras, allowing them to express their understanding of the cultural significance each symbol holds.

For instance, students might draw and describe the Mardi Gras mask, which symbolizes the anonymity and freedom that allows people from all walks of life to partake in the celebrations without social constraints. They could also illustrate and explain the significance of the fleur-de-lis, which represents the French heritage of New Orleans, or the King Cake, a confection that embodies the sense of community and the hunt for the lucky trinket inside. Through this exercise, students not only demonstrate their artistic skills but also deepen their cultural knowledge by connecting each symbol with its historical and social context. This worksheet is an excellent resource for educators to facilitate a hands-on learning experience about Mardi Gras in a classroom setting.
