"Why is that man's skin dark?" "Skin contains something called melanin, which makes us different colors. Some people have more than others. We're all part of a beautiful rainbow, aren't we?"

"Why does that girl talk funny?" "That's called an accent. Her family came from a country where they speak another language."

"Why is he in a wheelchair?" "Some people's legs don't work, so they need a chair with wheels to get from place to place."

"Why is that woman so fat?""People come in all shapes and sizes, and that's what makes the world such an interesting place."

"Why does that man wear a funny wrap on his head?""That's called a turban. He wears it because it's part of his religion, like other people may wear a cross."

Write and talk about what makes you special? Talk about your differences and similarities.

Talk about how you can make a positive impact on the people around you.

Discuss differences when you are out and about. For example, when you see someone in a wheelchair, using sign language, dressed in their cultural attire, or blind.

Eat at a restaurant from a different culture of your own.

Attend cultural events.

Read books that discuss different cultures, languages, colors.

Another fun activity is to read “Green Eggs and Ham” and then make some scrambled GREEN eggs. Have the children do a taste test - regular scrambled eggs and GREEN scrambled eggs. Have them notice that they taste the same (even though they may look different)!
