Help Kids Learn About Their Communities
Kids might be used to observing their communities, but they might not be able to pinpoint what makes everyone within them so different. Teach kids how to turn “us” into “we” with this fun and inspiring activity sheet inspired by We Are Immigrants!
The unique tapestries of their neighborhoods are perfect for a young artist’s eye: familiar people might have unfamiliar backgrounds that would be interesting for them to explore. Have kids learn more about members of their community – their family, friends, teachers, neighbors, and more – and let them share that knowledge with a creative spin!
By using this activity sheet, kids will be able to replicate the diversity and vibrancy of their neighborhoods through art, and find new appreciation for the people around them!
Like all people, immigrants have their own unique traits and bring their own special customs wherever they go—all things that make our country and world such a wonderful and vibrant place to live. The colors, music, language, and cultural heritage of immigrants jumps off the pages in Alyssa M. Gonzalez’s vibrant artwork while Carolina Fernandez’s words remind us to embrace living with and near people who bring their own history and traditions to our communities. After all, it’s important to remember: we all make up one human race!
