3 Harmony Day Resources for Teachers Hey teacher! Harmony Day is celebrated in Australia on the 21st of March every year to promote cultural diversity, respect, and inclusiveness. It's a day for teachers to celebrate and educate their students about the different cultures that make up our society. Here are three Harmony Day resources that teachers can use to enhance their classroom activities and promote diversity. 1. Harmony Day Lesson Plans The Harmony Day website offers a range of lesson plans and activities that teachers can use to celebrate Harmony Day in their classrooms. These resources are suitable for all age groups and cover a variety of topics, such as cultural diversity, respect, and inclusivity. The lesson plans are designed to be interactive, engaging, and fun, and they include activities like storytelling, role-playing, and arts and crafts. Harmony Day WEBSITE See Product 2. Storytelling Storytelling is a powerful way to connect with others and learn about their cultures. Teachers can incorporate storytelling into their classroom activities by inviting members of the local community to come in and share stories from their culture. This can be done in person or through video conferencing, which has become increasingly popular due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students can also be encouraged to share their own stories or create their own stories based on what they have learned about different cultures.Some of these videos (at the link) feature interviews with Australians from diverse cultural backgrounds on the Harmony day website also, while others showcase cultural celebrations and traditions from around the world.

Harmony Day Classroom Decorations Decorating your classroom with Harmony Day posters, banners, and other decorations is a great way to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for your students. The Harmony Day website offers a range of printable decorations that you can use to decorate your classroom, including posters with messages of respect and inclusivity, flags from different countries, and other visual aids that celebrate cultural diversity. Decorating your classroom with Harmony Day resources can help to promote a sense of belonging and pride among your students.Grab this limited time freebie below to display in your classroom ahead of Harmony Day.

For the past 3 years I have wrapped books for Library Lovers Day. It appears it is so enjoyed that when the Harmony Day committee met a few weeks ago to organise the day, a request came through to do it again with related titles.


27 books all covered and ready to go.


Great advocacy and relationship building!
