In this engaging lesson, students are introduced to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. They gather knowledge the rituals that Muslims follow and consider the reasons behind these practices.

-Learning about the Holy Month of Ramadan - when it happens, what people do and why they do it;
-Learn about how the fasting ends each day, and the purpose and composition of Iftar meals;
-Create their own Iftar meals, containing foods from each of the necessary food groups for replenishing energy;
-Considering how Eid Al-Fitr compares to celebrations in other religions;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objectives.
This resource pack includes the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (14 slides) and the template for the iftar activity (in Word and PDF).
