These resources can help boost KS2 children’s cultural awareness as they learn about Obon, one of the most important annual festivals in Japan. The festival is based on the Buddhist belief that the spirits of ancestors return to their family home at this time of year.
The PPT, lesson plan, accompanying videos, and craft activities can be used in the classroom to teach about the customs and traditions associated with Obon and about summer festivals in general in Japan. During the lesson, students will put the activities associated with Obon in order, answer a true or false quiz, make a simple paper lantern and also learn Japanese vocabulary associated with the festival.
Also included is an PDF Activity Pack which can be printed out and used by students independently or during extracurricular activities such as Japan club. 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.
