๐ What is Culture?
Culture is like a big treasure chest filled with all the things that make a group of people special. It includes their traditions, foods, stories, music, and even the way they celebrate holidays! It's what makes being part of a group feel so good!
๐ A Little Bit of Culture History
Long, long ago, people lived in small groups. Each group learned ways to survive and be happy together. Over time, these ways became their culture. They taught their children, and their children taught their children, and so on. That's how culture is passed down!
