What is cultural?

Cultural means the way people in a group share and pass on their habits, stories, and ways of doing things.

Imagine you and your friends all love to play a special game every day at recess, it's not just any game, but one you made up together. That game is part of your culture because it’s something you do as a group, and you teach new kids how to play it too.

Think of culture like a family recipe that gets passed down from generation to generation. Your grandma always adds an extra pinch of sugar to her cookies, that little habit is part of your family's culture. Just like you might learn to make those same cookies, people in a group learn their shared habits and stories.

Culture isn’t fixed, it can change too! Maybe one day your friends decide to add a new rule to the game. That’s how cultures grow and become different over time, just like your family recipe might get updated with a new ingredient or step.
