What is ritual?

A ritual is a special way of doing something that people do again and again to make it feel extra important or meaningful.

Imagine you have your favorite breakfast, maybe pancakes with syrup. Now, imagine you always sit at the same table, use the same plate, and say “Good morning” before taking your first bite. That’s like a ritual! It's not just about eating; it's about making that moment feel special.

People do rituals to show how much something means to them, whether it's breakfast, a birthday, or even saying goodbye before school. A ritual can be as simple as putting your shoes by the door every night so you're ready for morning.

When you do a ritual, it feels like you’re giving that thing extra love. It’s like when you give your favorite toy an extra hug before going to bed, it makes everything feel cozier and more special.
