introduction game.
Introduction-game:
Pupils have to make groups
sorted by the next topics (first
three in silence):
- Shoe color (by looking)
- Color of clothing piece (by
looking)
- Eye color (by looking, eye
contact)
- Month and year of birth in
one long row (by talking)
The message during this game
will be that we are all unique
and different, but we all have
our similarities with others.
15 min. Martin will explain the
second game.
Game: other cultures – other
rules and habits.
Core part: self-
reflection(experience of
exclusion and ignorance)
We divided the group in 4. 3 -
3 - and the half of the rest.
The two small groups will go
to the corridor and get the rules
explained. They are only
allowed to answer questions
from those who are similar
from the other groups in the
classroom. Example; girl with
red sweater is only allowed to
answer questions from pupils
who wear the same color. Etc.
The other groups have to ask
questions from daily life and
have to find out why some
pupils answer questions and
why not.

game.
Connection game (tableau):
Pupils will search for
similarities with each other.
When they found a similarity,

touching.
