Help them see that no one is exactly alike. Blindfold the children, one at a time. Have each child feel the face and hair of classmates and then feel their own face and hair. The children will find that people feel different. Record each child's voice during an activity period.
Children listen to the voices and guess which voice goes with each child.
Write the children's names on a strip of paper. Compare the letters in the names. Pick a child out of the classroom. Encourage the children to bring a favorite item from home and discuss why it is their favorite object. Children can begin to explore racial and ethnic differences by examining differences in skin color, hair texture, and eye shape.
