Tell the story of Perun – the Slavic god of thunder and lightning – in a simple, exciting way kids can understand. Don't forget to speak to them about justice and his role in bringing justice to the world.

Create thunder-themed crafts like lightning bolts, oak leaves, and axes using cardboard or felt.

Go on a nature walk to find oak trees (sacred to Perun), and collect leaves, bark, or acorns for art activities. Learn more about oaks and trees in general.

Light a small, supervised bonfire or candles to represent fire and lightning.

Make "thunder" by drumming on pots, using rattles, gousehold items or stomping – a great way to bring the stormy energy of Perun to life.

Act out the legendary battle between Perun and Veles using simple costumes or toys.

Celebrate Perun’s connection to rain with a playful water splash fight or a dip in a nearby stream.

Make protective charms with red thread, beads, or sticks to honor Perun as a guardian spirit.

Leave simple offerings like apples, bread, or flowers at the base of a tree as a nature gift.
