Look at photographs of family celebrations and talk about what they were celebrating and why. Put the photographs in the order in which they happened.
Talk about celebrations that occur every year such as Christmas and birthdays. What do they remember? What is always the same? What changes? Draw a picture of a favourite celebration.
