Explore What Makes Each of Us in Our Community Special
Using “A person’s a person, no matter how small,” to open discussion, draw portraits of each person in your household and surround each portrait with positive statements about the person portrayed.
Statements can be very brief – ‘Jane is always smiling.’ ‘Don has beautiful handwriting.’ This can be extended to include members of the family who don’t live with you, neighbours and friends.
Create a book entitled A Person’s A Person which gathers the drawings and text together. This can be as simple as making a cover page and stapling it to the front of your collection of portraits.
