One way to get in the Mix It Up spirit before Mix It Up at Lunch Day is with…mixers! Confused? Don’t be.
Teaching Tolerance offers dozens of free online resources to use in the classroom during the weeks leading up to your Mix It Up event. We call them “mixers.” These lessons are available for all grade levels, and they cover a variety of subjects. AND they can deepen the impact of your event by getting students excited about Mix and accustomed to sharing.
Mixers are also a great way to help raise awareness about divisions and boundaries that might be present at your school. Check out this sampling:
It’s About Me: Students introduce themselves using a photo or object that is important to them. (Grades 1-12)
Human Scavenger Hunt: Students get to know each other while searching for their partners. (Grades PreK-5)
Fact or Fiction?: Students must guess whether statements about their group members are true or false. (Grades 6-12)
Want another reason to practice mixing it up? Your school’s event could be the subject of a Mix It Up video! We’re sending professional videographers to three schools on Mix It Up at Lunch Day. (The event does not have to be held on October 25, but it does have to be held before winter break.) Tell us by September 30 why your school’s event deserves to be filmed and featured, and you could appear in a short Teaching Tolerance film produced to promote Mix. Remember: We’re looking for creativity and FUN!
Mix It Up at Lunch Day is October 25!
