EMPOWERING ACTIVITY

Did you know that eggs come in all sorts of colors, shapes, and sizes? People are also unique, just like eggs!

Find a group of people to work with, and take a look at these pictures below of all the different types of eggs!

Click on the worksheet to the right to print, or draw on your own paper.

With your group, discuss and find ways that you can group together certain eggs. This could be based on their shape, color, patterns, texture, and more! On the worksheet, write down at least two different ways you sorted the eggs. 

After you have sorted the eggs, take some time to discuss with your group and write down on the worksheet how this type of sorting and categorizing happens among people in real life. 

At school, there are people that come from all different backgrounds, identities, and abilities, and it is important to identify these differences so that we can all learn to embrace and value them!
