We Are All Different. We Are All Unique!: Children's Book about Diversity, Kindness, Empathy and Respect (Social and Emotional Skills for Kids)

Product Information

Why not use the finished work to create a display celebrating each and every unique member of your class? This activity works brilliantly after reading the Twinkl Originals book 'We Are All Different'. Displays are a vital part of any classroom. Otherwise, your learning space can look quite bleak and empty, especially when there are plenty of bare walls to be used. Below are a couple of different ways to use classroom displays, and the benefits they bring.

Encouraging interaction. Display boards don’t have to be set in stone! Why not set up an interactive morning display board? Let the kids take turns in filling out the date, the agenda for the day, or even what the weather is like. It’ll save you time in the morning prepping for the day, and it’ll give your class the chance to put their stamp on the classroom. EYFS This Is Me Worksheet - Our Face Template is a fantastic resource for young children to use to learn how to draw their own features. This can be done from memory or even using a mirror. When we get a new phone, it has default factory settings. People customize the settings according to their own needs and preferences. Ask pupils to spend a few moments thinking about the ways in which they are different from the people next to them. Do they look different? Do they like different things? Do they have different strengths and weaknesses? Can you think of a friend that has been able to teach you something new, because they come from a different place or speak a different language? Learning about diversity and the way in which people can be different is really important for young children.

Self-portraits are drawings or paintings of a person that they did themselves. They can be very important pieces of art for understanding how a person views themselves. This RSHP Learning About Disabilities PowerPoint is the perfect Health and Wellbeing resource for First Level learners who are learning about diversity and disabilities. Why is learning about diversity important for children? Here are some encouraging quotes about being different and being yourself and celebrating diversity and inclusion. I personally created these quotes about being different. Fostering a positive atmosphere in the classroom may also help prevent bullying, as kids can be more accepting of each other's differences. Not only that, but if a child feels more comfortable in a classroom setting, they can improve their confidence and self-esteem as well! For a helpful story about returning to school, try In It Together. Sensitively navigating themes like emotional wellbeing, the story will help create a more understanding environment.As they go through preschool, primary school, secondary school and beyond, children will meet many, many different types of people. Not all of these people will be the same or similar to them. After all, living a life true to who you really are at your core is the only way to experience fulfilling connections with others and lasting happiness. Featured Book Listen to Your Heart Journal We are all different and that’s beautiful. The overall message of the story - that everyone is unique, and that there's no right or wrong way of being - will help make your classroom a more friendly and accepting environment, where children get on with one another regardless of their differences. He says he doesn’t want attention. But did you look at his face when he was called up to speak? He clearly loved the attention. We all love attention. We’re all the same.

Using our This is Me Worksheets:

This resource is perfect to use during Disability Pride Month in July. Why should children learn that we are all different? These We Are All Different Discussion Cards are a lovely way to get children talking about their similarities and differences, and celebrating them! There are 10 discussion cards altogether, each asking questions such as: Circle time is a commonly used activity by schools. But what is it? Circle time, or group time, is when students often come together and engage in a form of teacher-led activity. It can often involve a series of short games and activities to help improve engagement and key skills. One of the most important lessons to learn as a child is to embrace and celebrate our differences. Fostering a general atmosphere of kindness in your classroom not only helps children improve their social skills but also sets them up fantastically for the rest of their lives. Teaching children to be proud of their differences, whilst also being respectful towards others, can hopefully inspire them to be positive and kind people when they grow older. Asking these questions will help children to get to know each other and learn that everyone is different and unique. This is a fantastic activity to do at the start of the school year or during an 'All About Me' topic, encouraging children to learn about each other and themselves.
