o Children to explore the terms ‘different’ and the ‘same’. Teacher to model:
o Cross the River Appoint two catchers. The catchers should allow children to cross the river if they have a certain characteristic, e.g. have blue eyes, like football or are wearing red. Once those children are safely over all other children must run to the other side without being caught. If they are caught they become catchers too. o Watch ‘I Am Special’ video clip. o Discuss: What makes you special?
o Read ‘Whoever You Are’. o Discuss the differences and similarities between the people in the book. o Read ‘Whoever You Are’ by Mem Fox. Point out similarities between children and then ask the children what they think is special about themselves.
o Share: No two people are exactly the same. We may have things that are the same, but we also have things that are different. That makes us all unique. o Explain that no two finger prints are the same. Children should use finger paints/ ink pad to mark their finger prints on paper. o Line up everyone's finger prints on a table or hang on the wall. Have children use a magnifying class to observe the fingerprints and look for similarities and differences.
