Diversity Street

Download this 27-slide PowerPoint about Diversity Street to use in a KS1 or KS2 assembly.  The PowerPoint begins by asking what it means to belong to a group or community and asks children to think about what different groups and communities there are in their area, how people show that they belong to a certain group and how we can understand what to do in a community to help others.

Follow the hyperlink to see how the world’s population has increased and ask children about their own experiences – how they might feel at home, or in a house of someone they didn’t know, and explain how ‘Diversity Street’ represents the world’s population with its 8 doors ad 32 residents.

Share some insightful statistics with the children*, a reflection and a final prayer.  A great assembly resource for celebrating diversity and absorbing differences.

* Please note at the end of the YouTube video the words ‘family planning’ appear briefly.  This in in context of predictions of the world’s population stabilising, so please watch the video yourself to check you are happy for your children to view it.
