This Day of the Dead Display Board & Unit Study will put you and your students right on track to learning about the most festive holiday in Mexico - Day of the Dead! There are so many aspects to Day of the Dead and to understand the true meaning of the holiday you must touch upon all of those aspects as each one adds varying depth and meaning. This display board provides all that and then some - and guess what? You don't have to do any of the legwork or research!

This is a 27-page digital download (PDF) that all you - or even better, your students or children - have to do is print, cut, and paste onto a 20 X 30-inch foam or poster board, or any other surface you prefer. Your students can also print it for a handmade book to add their own touches and information to. It can also be used simply as a research tool for writing a paper or giving a presentation. There are so many uses for this printable!
