Carnival around the world

Students learn about carnival in Rio, Venice and Poland and compare the customs.

Steps

1. Show short videos or photos from the three carnivals.
2. Groups list costumes, music, food and how long each carnival lasts.
3. Compare them with Polish traditions (sleigh rides, Zapusty, Śledzik) and with customs in your own country.
4. Each group designs a costume for its carnival.

Tip: Finish with a short show of the designs to music from each country.

Materials needed

• White poster board (1 sheet per group)
