Tanabata, or the ‘Star Festival’ ,is a summer festival in Japan. The powerpoint, traditional story, and craft activities included in this lesson introduce KS1 or KS2 students to the festival’s origins and the customs associated with it.

After listening to the story, students will identify key events, characters and locations before learning how Tanabata is celebrated in Japan.
