Grade 5 · Social Studies · Lesson 4

Culture and Traditions

Every group of people on Earth has a way of life — the food they cook, the music they play, the clothes they wear, the festivals they celebrate. Together those shared habits and beliefs are called CULTURE. The special practices that get passed down from grandparents to parents to children are called TRADITIONS. Culture and traditions help people feel they belong to something bigger than themselves.
