All About Me Quilt
Materials needed: Small square sheets of paper, Markers
After talking about all the things we now know about you, we are going to make a quilt. It’s a quilt made of paper. And each one of us is going to have a piece of the quilt because each one of us is unique and special. So on one side of our quilt piece we are going to put our name and fingerprint. We are going to put our fingerprint on it because our fingerprints are unique just like we are. On the other side, you are going to be able to decorate the quilt piece however you like but you have to have things that you are strong at, things that you like and maybe a job that you want to have one day.
Tearing Off Your Labels
Have the kids stand/sit in a circle. The kids will go around in the circle naming various things as fast as they can. You will time each round. You can have them do rounds multiple times if you/they want to try to improve their time.
Round 1- say their name
Round 2- say name of person to their left
Round 3- say a cartoon character or sports figure
Processing:
Why could we say our own names faster than the name of others?
How easy is it for us to look or act like someone else?
What makes a person unique?
How hard is it not to compare yourselves to others? Does comparing ourselves to others help us to be our best self?
Why is it important to be the “real” you?
Is being the “real you” easier or harder than pretending you are someone else? Why? What things would make it easier?
