Even though we may be different than others, we can still be united. Different things can live together in unity, or at least every creature has a role to play in the cycle of life. Go on a walk outside to find plants of various varieties, flowers of many colors, or different species of birds.

Unity in Nature: Find some examples of unity among plants and animals. Discuss how humans are all part of one big family, and we should treat each other as such. Give them language they can use to ask for help and express their gratitude for this help (“Will you help please?” and “Thank you”).

Help your child illustrate a picture of people outside of your family helping them (such as a teacher, grocery seller, doctor, neighbor, or grandparent). Unity Beyond the Family: Draw a picture about how someone outside your family helps you. You all have a different role to play, but you are all important. Unity in the Family: Draw a picture of your united family.ĭraw a picture of your family together and write on the page “Our family enjoys living, working, and playing together.” Talk with your child about what this statement could mean in your home throughout the week as you engage in various activities. Here are five hands-on activities to teach children about unity in diversity. We will get to know more people, cooperate more, and live without judgement. When we learn to accept others as they are, and find beauty in diversity, we are going to get along well with others. I believe teaching our children to appreciate difference – and recognize that everyone is the same on the inside – is very important.
