A step-by-step guide to play the game

Show the children a large world map and ask who was born in a different country from the one they live in now. You can also ask if their parents or relatives have a different nationality. Ask them to point out this country on the map.

Explain that every person has the right to use their own language, culture and religion - even if these are not shared by most people in the country where they live.

Then explain to the players that they should think about their favourite song or dance typical of their culture/country/region.

Give them some time to think about it, look up videos or practise some dance steps.

After some time, ask the players to present their song or dance and if they would like to share it with the group. The aim is to learn about the culture and traditions of others.
