Give students a copy of the bingo worksheet. Have them travel around the room and get others to sign the descriptions that apply to them.

At the end, have students share one thing they learned about a peer or classmate  and share a description that they identify with.

"Mix It Up at Lunch Day is an international campaign that encourages students to identify, question and cross social boundaries. Schools can register to host a Mix It Up event on any day of the year!

Students consistently identify the cafeteria as a place in their school where divisions are clearly—and harshly—drawn. So we ask students to move out of their comfort zones and connect with someone new over lunch. It’s a simple act with profound implications that we encourage educators to include in year-round efforts to promote healthy, welcoming school environments. Studies have shown that interactions across group lines can help reduce prejudice. When students interact with those who are different from them, biases and misperceptions can fall away."

Students produce original art that conveys an anti-bias or social justice message then work with school staff to plan a public showcase of their work.

After students observe the art showcase, use journal writing or Talking Circles to facilitate student reflection. Suggested reflection questions:

•What was your favorite piece in the showcase? What were its strengths? How was the piece effective in conveying the theme?

•Discuss the effectiveness of using art for social justice change.

•What did you learn from this experience? What about the process stands out for you?

•What did you learn about social justice art from outside resources?
