The month-long Muslim holiday of Ramadan began recently. I’ve created some free Ramadan decorations for you as well as for Eid al-Fitr, which occurs at the end of Ramadan. The link to download them is below.

Ramadan Posters
Muslims around the world who celebrate Ramadan often greet each other by saying Ramadan Kareem. That means Generous Ramadan or Have a Generous Ramadan.
One of the practices of the holiday is to give money to charity, so some people consider this greeting an admonition to be generous in the amount of their charitable giving.
The freebie has 6 posters that say Ramadan Kareem.
Eid al-Fitr Posters
When Ramadan ends, it is Eid al-Fitr, which lasts 3 days. Greetings for Eid al-Fitr consist of saying Eid Mubarak. That means Blessed Eid or Have a Blessed Eid.
Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr by having a large feast, exchanging gifts, and going to a mosque to pray.
The freebie has 6 posters that say Eid Mubarak.
How to Use the Posters
You can print all of them out to create a bulletin board for your classroom. Another way to use them is to change your printer settings so you’re printing multiple images of 1 poster on a page. Then, you can use the smaller versions as cards for your students, their families, and/or your Muslim colleagues.

Happy Ramadan!
