Christmas in Italy

Introduce children to Italian Christmas traditions with this reading comprehension worksheet! Children will learn about Italian festivals, such as the Feast of the Seven Fishes, as well as beloved characters of the season like Babbo Natale and La Befana. They will also learn about some of the foods Italians enjoy during the holidays, such as panforte, pannetone, and cuccia. On page 2, learners will review what they have learned with a vocabulary match exercise, then draw their own portrait of one of gift bearers traditional to Italian culture.
