Our Activity: Inclusion Posters

As a class, brainstorm ways that you can make everyone feel included.  A few examples are;

• ask someone who is alone at recess to play
• ask someone to be in your group for a project who is feeling left out
• listen to others if they feel sad or upset
• smile and say hello to someone who isn’t a friend
• let’s celebrate our differences by talking about what makes us special
• compliment someone on something they do well

Divide students into groups of 2 or 3.  Each group will be provided with a large sheet of paper on which to make their inclusion poster.  These posters will focus on one of the ways we can help others feel included.  Posters can include art and text.
