What is culture?

Culture is the way a group of people lives. Language, food, music, stories, and celebrations. Families pass culture along.

What is a tradition?

Traditions connect people to their past and to each other.. Something your family does every year, like a holiday meal, is a tradition.

Is this true? A family is not people who care for each other.

No. A family is people who care for each other. Families can look different: two parents, one parent, grandparents, or other grown-ups who love you.

What is diversity?

Diversity means people are not all the same. In a class, kids may speak different languages at home, eat different foods, and celebrate different holidays. Those differences can help everyone learn.

What is a custom?

A custom is a usual way a group greets, eats, or shows respect.. Some people bow. Some shake hands. Those usual greetings are customs.

Is this true? Celebrations happen all around the world.

Yes. People gather for food, music, and togetherness. That gathering is a celebration.
