Purim is one of the most celebratory holidays in Judaism. Celebration usually involves wearing fancy dress/costumes, carnivals, etc. There is also a tradition of pulling pranks (community news papers will print a Purim edition full of fake stories) and doing funny skits.
A colour war is usually when the school is divided up into two or more groups with each group being assigned a different colour. Then there are competitions and the team/colour with the most points wins. The whole idea is to have fun!
