vs. prejudice |

Parents - If you haven't already read the pages on "Developing Character in Your Children," you might want to go there first before reading these pages. |
Practicing Tolerance Let your children plan a family outing. As differences arise, use those as occasions to work through their differences by asking insightful questions. Help me understand..." Are you saying..." Why do you want to..." Can we put these two contradictory ideas together in some way? After the outing, tell the children the real point of the outing was to help them grow in understanding each other. Ask what each learned about the others in the family. You might choose to draw a stick figure of each member and write the comments that were made. Ground rule: be kind! |
The child who is it chooses either an historical figure or someone the family knows. He should say which the person is. The others then take turns asking questions to try to determine who the "mystery person" is. If the others haven't guessed the person's name by 20 questions, the one who is "it" has won. |
