Unit 306 - Cultural Backgrounds

I have been asked to do an activity with children to help them
be positive about their own and different cultural backgrounds
(we only have white british at the moment) - any suggestions
Pleasssssse!!!

If British White are the only ethnic group attending that's what you can focus on Have you a fair, fete or local carnival that's due or maybe just been held ? You could combine your Children's culture with Jamaican Children's and also look at the Carnivals & festivals that they experience.

As a craft you could make streamers on poles or maybe junk modelling floats. There are quite a few books available for story time & for positive role model images ..

Buy a range of eggs - brown and white shells, hen and maybe duck from the farm...

Carefully examine the outsides and look at the differences in weight, size, colour etc.

Then crack them open to make a cake ...

... and wow! They are all the same inside ... just like us

you can read a book about flags or show flash cards of flags and talk about the british flag and britain then get the children to create their own individual flags
