Make a Festival Album with the help of your family and friends..

1. Select any ten festivals for your album.

2. Collect information about each of the festivals using these points:

• • Name of the festival. Why the festival is known by that name. If there is a story about the festival, you may write it in short.
  • When does the festival occur –

(a) The date according to the Jan. – Dec. calendar this year.

(b) The date according to any other calendar every year What do people do on that occasion?

• • What special dishes are prepared at home?
  • Do you invite other people to celebrate it with you?
  • Is it a holiday in school?
  • Do you send ‘Greeting Cards’ and messages on this occasion What do you write in them? Prepare a sample card. 

3. Try to get pictures or photographs suitable for the festival. You may also draw pictures related to the festival.

4. Arrange your information and pictures/photographs in an artistic way on a big sheet of paper. Paste the photographs/pictures. Use colour pencils/pens to write the information. See that your handwriting is neat and tidy. (See the “Makar Sankrant page given here. You may use other ideas for your album.)

5. When all ten sheets are ready, pin or stitch them together. Use a blank sheet at the front and back, to make a ‘cover’ for your album.

6. Write the name “Festival Album’ on the front cover.

Show your album to family and friends.
