    Celebrating holidays from different cultures is a great way to involve students. While celebrating can be just acknowledging or as much as, eating the traditional foods, playing games, and reading about the history.

    Hang posters on our walls, have a wide range of diverse/multi cultural books for the kids to look at. Have music so that the kids can listen too.

    Books and music are one of the most helpful tools we have to educate the children on different cultures . By reading to them and playing music in different languages we can help the kids grow an appreciation for different cultures, arts and languages

    Having books from other languages accessible to children, during other cultures holidays, posting pictures of those celebrations around the classroom with books on the topic. If a child speak a different language, you can try to pick up a little to converse with them, even if it is as simple as google translating names for animals or colors and saying those to them.

    Every morning during my circle time, I include a song that is “hello” in various languages from all over the world. Afterwards, each child gets a turn saying “hello” to the class in whichever language they would like!

    I think that simply engaging meaningful conversation with kids about other cultures is a simple easy way to make our childcare environment more inclusive. That and trusting that they will understand and be eager to learn more.
