Diversity Worksheet for the Classroom

Whether your celebrating Harmony Day in the classroom, or just wanting students to appreciate the glorious diversity of cultures, this alphabet of diversity worksheet is exactly what you’ve been looking for. This worksheet was created by a teacher and was aptly named the “Alphabet of Diversity,” a creative and engaging activity aimed at fostering inclusivity, understanding, and respect among students.

The worksheet features a series of blank spaces, each corresponding to a letter of the alphabet. The task is for students to fill in the blanks with words, phrases, or concepts related to diversity, representing a broad spectrum of backgrounds, identities, and experiences. The goal is to create an inclusive and comprehensive alphabet that celebrated the richness of human diversity.

Harmony Day in the Classroom – Using this Diversity Worksheet

The “Alphabet of Diversity” worksheet can be a versatile and dynamic tool for fostering inclusion and understanding in the classroom. Here are several ways to use this worksheet:

• Begin the school year or a new term with the Alphabet of Diversity as an icebreaker. Ask students to fill in the worksheet individually and then share their responses with the class. This activity can help students learn more about each other and create a positive and inclusive classroom culture from the start.
• Turn the worksheet into a series of stations where each station represents a letter of the alphabet. Students rotate through the stations, collaboratively filling in the worksheet as they explore various aspects of diversity. This can include visuals, articles, or hands-on activities related to each letter.
• Create a visually engaging and interactive display using the completed worksheets. Arrange the alphabet on a bulletin board, and invite students to add visual elements, quotes, or images that correspond to the terms they listed. This evolving display can serve as a constant reminder of the diverse perspectives within the classroom.
