Learning Objective (main thing you want youth to have an opportunity to do / to practice): To learn about different cultures and find similarities within themselves and

be able to relate. Have fun creating an Asian paper lantern.

Kid-Friendly Way to Introduce “Learning Objective” to Youth (1—3 sentences): We live in a very big world that is made up of thousands of different types of people,

cultures, languages, and so much more. We can explore other countries and learn about people living all over the world.

Kid-Friendly Way to Introduce Activity to Youth (bring the excitement here--this is what you would say to help youth pick between multiple activity options): We are

going to make an Asian paper lantern. For big festivals like the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival (usually August or September) and the Lunar New Year

(January or February), kids in some Asian countries have a procession of paper lanterns.

• Fold the outside piece in half, hamburger style.

• Keep the paper folded and use a ruler to draw lines from the folded edge up to 1

• Open the paper up, and draw/color on the side without the lines.

• When you are done coloring, fold the paper and cut along the lines. Do not cut all
