There are many ways this game can be executed, as it is more of a game of imagination than winners and losers. Plan a "trip" for your children where you "travel" to different countries around the world within your classroom. Each day, your children can "go" to a new country where the children eat native food from that country and play games that originated from that specific country. Children will learn fun facts and a brief history about each country as well.
Have children talk to their parents about the culture their family comes from. Ask the children and the parents to research the native costumes from their culture. Children will then dress up in one of these costumes or bring a drawing or picture. Students will study the pictures carefully or look at the style of dress. The children will then have to guess which culture the child's clothing belongs to and what purpose the dress serves.
Encourage students to play games from other cultures or to bring in a game from another culture. Explain to students how to play mancala, an ancient game which involves placing and moving rocks or seeds around a board. If the seeds or rocks end up in your "store" (or compartment closest to you) during your lap, you win that round. Students can also play an African game called Da Ga in which one student stands in the center of a circle while the others stand just outside his grasp. A small circle is drawn in chalk for the student in the circle to move in. He will then reach out and try to touch the other players while remaining in the circle. When he does so, that player will come into the circle and the two will hold hands and attempt to tag the players. This continues until there are only a few people left.
This game involves memorization, but also encourages students to learn about one another and the diversity within their own classroom. Ask children to make a verbal list of things that make them different or unique, such as their nationality, religion or disability status. The children will tell the class one by one what makes them unique and the teacher will then write each trait down on paper. Each student will stand in front of the class and the other students will have to guess the things that make the students unique.
