Have you had exposure to a different culture? If so, could you share an enjoyable and fun method for learning about diverse cultures?
Posted by Charlean Givan on June 6, 2023 at 8:43 pmTeaching is always great when students are having fun while learning. By including food, crafts, books, dance from different cultures kids tend to remember these moments longer.

GuestNovember 9, 2023 at 9:54 pmYes, I’ve had the opportunity to learn about different cultures through
cultural storytelling sessions. Listening to stories from different
parts of the world not only entertains but also educates. Storytelling
brings traditions, beliefs, and values to life, making it a fun and
engaging way to understand and appreciate the richness of diverse
cultures -
My culture is actually two. I am half Mexican and white. We have many family traditions we do every year. We make tamales, Mexican wedding cake cookie and we make pozole which a soup made during Christmas time.

Absolutely! I’ve found that diving into different cuisines is a delicious way to explore diverse cultures. Trying out new recipes and visiting local restaurants or markets offers a fun and tasty journey around the world, all while sparking conversations about traditions and customs. So what you can do for the kids is organise a food party and ask them to bring their traditional food from their home which they can share with their friends in class.
