Trying this out is a great activity & opportunity to discuss surroundings & strangers further with kids. You can see the full article & how to make this at – KidWorldCitizen […]

Perhaps you could do China, but have the kids personalize each circle for their individual situation. For example their home (who lives there, or what is important in their home), their neighborhood or school, then the city they are in now, the country they are in now (labelling it simply “China” instead of “my country”). With each circle they could draw a picture or write what they will remember about their time in China, or what is important and significant about each place. Even if they are transient, it might either help them sort of claim their current home, but also could be a nice memory if they move away from China:). I would love to see pictures when you are finished!

I live in China and work in an international school where I have many students from different countries: Netherlands, Finland, India, Japan, Malaysia, America etc… Our unit is “Our Community” and we look at our neighborhood, country and our role as global citizens. I want to do this activity but do I just stick with China or should the children just do their home countries? For some China is more relevant because they’ve been here longer than their home countries and for others they haven’t been in China long and haven’t identified China as their home quite yet-making labels like “My Country” a tad awkward. What approach would you take in this situation? Thank you!

Students really love to participate in this project. By this lesson plan, teachers can easily create awareness in their students about globalization.
