EMPOWERING ACTIVITY

Imagine we are traveling the world. Each country has a unique culture, and throughout the world, there are many different languages that are spoken.

On the worksheet, you will find ways to say hello in several different languages. Maybe there is even someone in your class that speaks another language.

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

With your class, practice saying “hello” in each of the languages on the worksheet.

Learning other languages is one way that we can begin to connect with people both inside and outside our communities.

While it is important to be proud of our own identities and cultures, it is also important to embrace and learn about the identities and cultures of others. This can help bring people closer together and become more understanding of the people that surround us.
