Ayuda a tus estudiantes a eliminar estereotipos, prejuicios y cualquier forma de racismo. Mediante esta actividad, se animará a los niños a reconocer que el color de la piel no es más que una característica física. Imaginándose a sí mismos con distintos colores de piel y dibujándose en consecuencia, comprenderán que, a pesar de las diferencias externas, todos los individuos son únicos e igualmente valiosos.

Esta actividad promueve la idea de que no debe haber lugar para la injusticia o la discriminación basadas en el color de la piel. Recuerda que también es nuestra responsabilidad fomentar la igualdad y promover el antirracismo desde una edad temprana.

Esta actividad es un excelente complemento de la presentación en PowerPoint sobre el racismo (color de la piel) y la lucha contra el racismo.

Instrucciones:

Pídeles a tus estudiantes que se dibujen a sí mismos en el primer recuadro. En los cuadros siguientes, pídales que vuelvan a dibujarse a sí mismos, pero con un color o tono de piel diferente. Después, los niños deben recortar cada dibujo y graparlos para crear un pequeño libro. Por último, anímeles a compartir su libro ilustrado y a reflexionar sobre sus emociones y pensamientos mientras se ven a sí mismos representados con distintos colores o tonos de piel. Se darán cuenta de que son iguales y de que su valor no cambia.

Este recurso incluye:

• Página 1: Cómo me siento con otra raza o color de piel (Versión 01)

Help your students eliminate stereotypes, prejudices, and any form of racism. Through this activity, children will be encouraged to recognize that skin color is merely a physical characteristic. By imagining themselves with different skin colors and drawing pictures of themselves accordingly, they will understand that despite external differences, all individuals are unique and equally valuable.

This activity promotes the idea that there should be no room for injustice or discrimination based on skin color.

It is our responsibility to foster equality and promote antiracism from an early age.

This activity serves as an excellent addition to the Racism (Skin Color) Anti-Racism PowerPoint Presentation.

Instructions:

Ask your students to draw themselves in the first picture frame. In the subsequent frames, instruct them to draw themselves again, but with a different skin color or tone. Afterward, children should cut out each picture and staple them together to create a small book. Finally, encourage them to share their picture book and reflect on their emotions and thoughts while looking at themselves depicted in different skin colors or tones. They will realize that they are the same and their worth does not change.
