Diwali Worksheets That Teach Early Skills
Festive themes make everyday practice feel new. A child who has just helped to set out diyas already understands why counting them matters. Keep worksheets short, as one or two pages at a sitting is plenty for most young children.
For extra practice beyond the festival, our free number tracing and ABC tracing worksheets work well alongside these pages.
- Maths: counting, simple addition and subtraction, bigger or smaller, missing numbers
- Writing: number tracing from 1 to 20 and alphabet tracing
- Thinking: patterns, same and different, and shape recognition
- Language: festival words in English, Hindi and Marathi
Diwali Colouring Pages and Crafts
Colouring gives children a calm activity during busy festival days, and it builds the hand control they need for writing. Our free mandala colouring pages look a lot like rangoli, so they make a lovely festive choice. There are also more free colouring pages for younger children.
For something to display or give, try decorating a printed diya, designing a kandil (Diwali lantern) or making a card for grandparents. Stay close whenever scissors are involved, and cut pieces out yourself for very young children.
Printable Diwali Games for the Whole Family
Games are perfect when cousins and friends visit, because children of different ages can play together. Bingo and memory cards work well with younger children, while charades and a family quiz get everyone laughing.
Our free printable games are not Diwali-themed, but they are ready to print and handy for keeping children busy during festive visits.
A Simple 7-Day Diwali Printable Plan
One small activity a day is enough, and it gives children something to look forward to. You can start this plan any time, before the festival or during the holidays.
- Day 1: Decorate a diya
- Day 2: Complete a rangoli
- Day 3: Festival counting
- Day 4: Diwali treasure hunt
- Day 5: A family kindness activity
- Day 6: Diwali puzzle day
- Day 7: Create your Diwali card
How to Print Without Wasting Ink
A few small choices can save ink and paper, especially if you are printing many pages:
- Print only the pages your child wants, not the whole file
- Use black and white or your printer's draft setting for puzzles and worksheets
- Choose A4 paper at 100% scale so that cards and cutting lines stay accurate
- Use thicker paper for greeting cards and game cards if you have it
- Slide worksheets into a plastic sleeve and use a dry-wipe pen for repeat practice
