Children’s Handouts

I put together a bilingual booklet about pysanky this year (2007) for the classes I was teaching at our church’s Ukrainian school.  It was quickly thrown together, so some of the graphics aren’t the best.  I’ve converted it to a pdf document.  You can pick and choose the pages you want to print.     

      Kids' Handout

            Size:  1.5 MB

            There are three sections: myths and legends about pysanky, symbolism of pysanky, and how to make

                pysanky. The symbolism section has mixed English and Ukrainian text, but the other pages are in

                one  language only (per page).  (added 3-27-2007)

        Design a Pysanka

             Size:  36 KB

             This is an additional page (different formatting) on which I have children design their own pysanky, using

                the symbols they’ve learned about.  There are two ovals so they can draw both sides of the pysanka–

                or two pysanky, as they wish.  (added 3-27-2007)

        Trypillian Culture

            Size:  83.3 MB

            I created this handout for a class I taught at our local Ukrainian school.  It is a very large file because of

                all the illustrations I included.  This handout discusses the Trypillian culture within the context of

                Ukrainian history, and discusses their many accomplishments: agriculture, animal husbandry, weaving,

                pottery, tool-making and metallurgy.  (added 11-8-2008)
