Día de los Muertos Activity Pack for Kids, Day of the Dead Printable, Bilingual Spanish Worksheets, Word Search, Coloring Pages

A gentle, joyful way to share Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with kids ages 5 to 10, at home or in Spanish class. A short explainer page introduces the holiday: a time to remember family members who have died and celebrate their lives. Kids learn Spanish words like cempasúchil, vela and pan de muerto, then find them in a word search, solve a crossword with English clues and Spanish answers, follow the marigold path to the ofrenda, and color an ofrenda, a sugar skull and monarch butterflies. A "Someone I Remember" page gives them space to draw and write about a loved one. No scary pictures: just flowers, candles, bread, paper flags, butterflies and a smiling sugar skull.
