This year, the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, or Chanukah, runs from Friday 4th to Saturday 12th December. Here at 2Simple, we're celebrating Chanukah using Purple Mash and have several resources for you to use in your classrooms to celebrate this holiday.

In 2026, Diwali takes place on Sunday 8th November. We invite your class to get involved and celebrate light and colour with these Purple Mash activities.
