My Project

I’m excited to bring a world of exploration into my kindergarten classroom through dress-up clothes that represent various cultures from around the world. Children at this age are curious, imaginative, and eager to learn, and dress-up play is a perfect way to spark their interest in diversity while developing empathy and understanding.

Through this project, we hope to provide our young learners with culturally rich dress-up clothes that reflect the traditions and customs of different countries along with fortune cookies and other resources.

These outfits will not only allow students to role-play and act out scenarios, but will also help them gain a deeper appreciation for the world around them.

These items will be integrated into our lessons on geography, global traditions, and cultural celebrations. The children will have the opportunity to dress up and act out stories from different countries, pretend to attend cultural festivals, and role-play as they learn more about different people’s lives, histories, and traditions.
