Diwali Around the Globe: Spreading Peace and Unity, One Greeting at a Time

Students find their country on the interactive Padlet map and post a short Diwali greeting that shows light and hope from their home. Encourage them to write the greeting in their own words and add a simple symbol or word from their culture.

Students research how Diwali is celebrated in different countries and compare traditions with the one they found on the map. They note one similarity and one difference to share with the class.

Students tell a short story about a Diwali memory, tradition, or message of light from their own family or community. They share it with the class to show how light and hope look different around the world.

Students draw or collage a symbol of light, hope, or peace that represents their own country or community. They add a short caption explaining what it means and place it beside their Padlet greeting.
