Cinco de Mayo is quickly approaching! Cinco de Mayo is a vibrant celebration that commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. While often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo has become a meaningful opportunity to honor Mexican culture, traditions, and resilience. Incorporating cultural celebrations like Cinco de Mayo into our lessons and everyday life helps children develop a deeper understanding of history, diversity, and community. To make it easy and inspiring, I’ve gathered Pinterest board ideas full of activities, lessons, crafts, and more — perfect for bringing the spirit of Cinco de Mayo into your home or classroom in a fun, educational way!

I have put together a collection of different crafts, activities, lessons, games, printables, and more all learning about and celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
