Discussion Questions:
1. Why is it important for all of us to say something?
2. In the book, what are some of the ways children found to say something?
3. What is your message for others? What would you like to change in your class, your school or in the world?
Activities:
Whole group: Brainstorm things to say, using the book for inspiration. Ex: Every Voice Matters; Be Kind, Peace, You Are Braver Than You Think, To Have a Friend Be a Friend, Believe in Yourself, Be You!, Follow Your Heart, Be Brave!, Together is Better. Make a class list to use with either of the next two activities.
Signs: Signs and posters allow people to creatively use their voice to inspire others. Invite the class to create their own signs using a variety of materials. You can have speech bubbles cut out to use in the signs/posters. When finished, allow each to share their work and take a group photo of all holding up their signs.
