How to play World Festivals
A little globe turns, and each stop is a happy festival somewhere in the world: Diwali, Christmas, Eid, Holi, the Lunar New Year, Hanukkah, the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival and a birthday party. Golu asks "Which one do we see at Diwali?" and your child taps the thing that belongs, like a diya, a Christmas tree or a red lantern. It glows and confetti bursts out.
Everything is spoken aloud in your child's language, so a child who cannot read yet can still play. The word also appears on screen in your own script, so print and sound arrive together. Tap 🔊 to hear the question again.
No wrong answers, only another try
If your child taps the wrong one, it still says its own name, which is its own little lesson, and Golu asks again. After a second try the right one bounces or wiggles to help. Nobody loses and there is no timer. At the end a marble drops into Golu's jar.
What your child learns from this festivals of the world for kids
Festivals that friends around the world celebrate, the things that go with them, and respect for how other families celebrate, in your language. At this age children learn best by doing one clear thing and seeing something happen straight away, which is why every tap makes the 3D world move and answer straight away.
Play it together: festivals around the world at home
Sit with your child for the first round and say the words with Golu. Point at it, name it, and let your child tap. Five minutes is plenty. Then try the same thing for real, away from the screen.
More 3D games
All 89 of Golu's 3D games are on the 3D games for kids page, sorted by age, and more games for this age are on the games for 5 and 6 year olds page.
Now do it for real
When the screen goes off, do something with your hands. Try 🖼️ A frame for my family — an easy craft for ages 3-6, with every step read aloud in your language. You will need cardboard from a box, a drawing of your family, colours and glue; nothing that needs a trip to a shop.
There are 56 more on the things to do at home page, and free printable worksheets if you would rather have something on paper. Ten minutes on a screen and twenty minutes off it is a good shape for a day at this age.
