Second Mate
Considering Diversity
Ahhh so these are the new crew mates I’ve been hearing so much about… I hope you’ve not been causing any trouble! I’m sure you’ve been a great addition to the crew.
Speaking of the crew… on board this wonderful ship we have many seafarers from all over the world. We like to make sure everyone is welcome and to do that we celebrate many cultural and religious festivals.
Could you help me to organise some celebrations?
How to Run
Explain that ships can be crewed by people from all over the world and they can have many different religions. In this session they will be learning about different religions and some of the festivals that they celebrate and that sometimes they are away from friends and family when the celebrations take place. So they will need to help out to make one of these celebrations happen.
What You Need
- Pens, paper, colouring pencils and craft materials to create decorations
