Communication interaction: Standing in a circle
“Turn to the person next to you and say something about them that is different and special – something that makes you appreciate them for just that difference.”
Values Discussion:
One of our core values is the idea that every person is important and unique. When we meet someone who is different than us how do we respond? What do we think? What do we ask them about themselves that helps us to know and understand them better despite our differences? What can we learn from them? What can we share with them about ourselves to make our connection with them a positive experience for both of us?
Creative time:
I have a handful of little objects – each of them is different and unique – some are things and others are little people or creatures. I want you to select at least one but you can select more if you like and create a story about how their differences effect them and the world you create for them. Today we will create collages using magazine cutouts as well as drawing pictures and writing words to tell our stories.
