We Are All Different: A Celebration of Diversity!

Product Information

Some may not want to have kids because they just don’t see it as an important goal to have in life. These We Are All Different Discussion Cards are a lovely way to get children talking about their similarities and differences, and celebrating them! There are 10 discussion cards altogether, each asking questions such as:

No two people are raised in exactly the same set of circumstances. So no two people have the same set of beliefs. Each Twinkl Originals story comes with a collection of teaching resources to inspire cross-curricular learning. You can also join Twinkl's own children's book club (UK only) to have a printed book delivered to your door every half-term. Use this PowerPoint as a great discussion tool to get children thinking and talking about all the wonderful ways in which we are different. This teaching presentation is great for providing children with the vocabulary they need to talk about the similarities and differences between themselves and others, such as words linked to eyes, hair, skin, families, hobbies and more.

Showcasing your students’ work. A bright, colourful display board littered with your students’ work and art is a great way to showcase their fabulous efforts. Displays such as these are often changed and updated throughout the year, which adds to the interactive feel and shows the class’ progress as the year goes on. For young children, differences can be strange or unfamiliar, because it's unlike what they're used to. This is why it's important for them to understand that everyone they meet will be different and not always the same as they are. Throughout our lives, we'll meet a wide range of people who are all different. Introducing children to this concept when they're young, and showing them that differences are something to be celebrated rather than looked down upon, will help children to become kinder and more empathetic. We Are All Different' features a diverse range of characters to inspire learning, and is stunningly illustrated throughout to bring the themes and ideas to life. With this EYFS diversity storybook, you can show children the beauty of being different.

This PowerPoint will help children to talk about difference positively and respectfully, focusing on all the wonderful things that make each person special and unique. Use this great resource alongside the Twinkl Originals book ' We Are All Different' or as part of your 'All About Me' topic. Take a look at the full range of additional resources to support this book, such as these We Are All Different Discussion Cards. There are a number of different holidays, events and festivals throughout the year that exist as a way of giving us a chance to celebrate our differences. LGBT History Month takes place annually during February, and is a month-long celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history, as well as the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements. Creating a display board for your classroom is an excellent way to encourage your students to keep diversity in mind and promote an inclusive classroom. Why not start off the project with a class discussion? Facilitate interaction by asking your students to see if they identify with any of the characteristics of the people in the banner. What words come to mind? Can they write any of them down? Making sure each child feels represented is so important. There are many different kinds of ways to help children stay focused while reading a story. Listen and follow audio activities are just one of these methods, and can help children stay focused on the story they’re learning about through the use of fun narration. This narration is designed to be used in combination with the book itself, making for a far more effective learning process.Available in eBook and PDF format, this book is all about what makes us different! It looks at physical differences such as hair types and skin colour, different families, likes and dislikes and more. It ends with the message: 'We are all different. We are all friends!'. This resource is perfect to use during Disability Pride Month in July. Why should children learn that we are all different? There is no emotion that only a select few people feel because our fundamental neurobiology is the same. It’s unlikely their behaviour has something to do with their genetic programming. What’s happened in their case is that they’ve formed certain beliefs that have overridden their desire to reproduce. Another level of innate behaviours has to do with our sex and sex hormones. Men have certain ways of behaving that differ from how women behave and vice versa.
