The 7-5-3 Festival (Shichi-Go-San 七五三) is an annual celebration held on November 15 to celebrate the health of children aged 3, 5, and 7. This resource contains a presentation, lesson plan, and activity pack and templates to teach children about the customs and traditions associated with the festival.
Students will learn why the ages of 3, 5, and 7 were important milestones for Japanese children in the past, about traditional Japanese clothes worn for the festival, and make and decorate a ‘chitose ame’ sweet bag - which children receive during the celebrations.
This standalone lesson can be used at any time to teach about Japanese culture to KS2.
An editable version of the PPTs are available on request - contact education@japansociety.org.uk.
More resources related to Japanese culture are available from The Japan Society website.
