The festival of lights
Diwali falls on the new moon of the month of KARTIK, usually in October or November, and lasts around five days. For many Hindus it marks Rama's return to Ayodhya after fourteen years in exile, when people lit rows of lamps to welcome him home. Many also pray to LAKSHMI, goddess of wealth and good fortune. Sikhs and Jains celebrate it too, each with their own reasons.
What's in the word lists
Our Diwali pack has 20 puzzles. The DIYA, the small clay oil lamp, appears alongside RANGOLI and KOLAM, the patterns drawn at the doorway in coloured powder or rice flour. There's MITHAI for the sweets everyone shares, POOJA for the evening prayers, GANESHA and KRISHNA, HENNA for the hands, a new SARI, and plenty of LIGHTS and LANTERN.
Something to do between the sweets
Diwali evenings are busy, but there's usually a quiet hour while the food is cooking or after the firecrackers. A puzzle on a phone or a printed sheet fits that gap. Teachers can use the Quick boards to introduce words like DIYA and RANGOLI to a class before the holiday.
