Lesson plan: A recipe for myself

From the Key Stage 1 classroom activities on Global Citizenship themes online resource

Age group: 5 - 7

Aims:
For pupils to become aware of and have pride in their individuality, and to value others as equal and different.

What to do:
This activity is from Feeling good about faraway friends by Leeds Development Education Centre.

You will need paper and pencils.

Create a word bank by brainstorming other pupils' qualities: funny, helpful, talkative, stubborn, and so on. Ask pupils to choose words which they think describe themselves and write them as a recipe. Encourage pupils to see themselves positively, like the example below. Make a class book of recipes.

Example recipe:

Trish
Ingredients:
2 cups of laughter
1 cup of joy
1 cup of energy
a sprinkle of tears
a pinch of stubbornness
a dash of playfulness

Method:
Stand under the stars and growing moon for several nights. Bring into a warm and secure place, nurture with love and care, and watch it grow into Trish.

Planned outcomes:
That pupils see themselves positively, that their self-esteem is raised, and that they begin to realise that people are all different, but all equal.
