Hands Out for World Peace
Focus on international harmony and world organizations working toward peaceful relations between nations.
1. Look up terms such as peace and harmony in dictionaries and other resources. Compare and contrast these meanings as they apply to world peace. Find information about international organizations that work to promote peaceful relations between world nations.
2. As a group, list ways you can work toward international harmony. Think on both local and global levels. Be sure to include what you do already to promote peace, such as host exchange students, exchange letters with e-pals, or participate in peace-seeking organizations.
3. On a large paper or posterboard, draw a globe with Crayola® Colored Pencils. With a partner, trace your hands in a pattern of friendship around the globe.
4. If you like, write what you can do, or are doing, to promote world peace on each of your hands.
5. Color your hands with Crayola Multicultural Crayons. Add a message to your poster and color the earth with Crayola Crayons and Colored Pencils.
