Celebrate Dia de Muertos at School! 

Introducing students to the vibrant and meaningful celebration of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) in your classroom is an enriching experience that promotes cultural understanding and celebrates the beauty of tradition. This Mexican holiday, known for its multicoloured decorations, sugar skulls, and sincere remembrances of loved ones who have passed, offers a priceless opportunity for students to explore diversity, compassion, and creativity. By incorporating the Day of the Dead into your curriculum, you not only teach cultural understanding but also inspire a sense of camaraderie, respect, and fondness for the rich traditions that make our world so wonderfully diverse.

Make Your Own Day of the Dead Masks!

This printable resource is a great way to introduce your students to the Mexican tradition and the beauty of the sugar skull that is seen so often during Dia de Los Muertos celebrations. Have your students create their own sugar skull masks and put on a parade!

The resource includes:

After students colour their masks, decorate them with feathers, sequins, glitter, stars, pipe cleaners, yarn, or anything else they wish!
