Celebrate Harmony Day in your classroom by using this flexible craft activity to research your students’ cultural heritage and explore how multiculturalism benefits your community.

Students will use one of three provided templates to construct a family tree, either in class or as a take home activity. They will identify the countries and cultures their families were born in or emigrated to. They will use these countries to write on and decorate paper chain strips. These strips are then glued together to form a linked cultural chain that visually symbolises how many different countries and cultures integrate together to create a diverse and vibrant community.

This activity includes detailed instructions with an example, paper chain templates and family tree worksheets. Display alone, with our Harmony Day Banner, or alongside either the Harmony Day: Supporting Cultural Diversity Persuasive Writing Templates or the Harmony Day: Multiculturalism in Action Interview Templates.
