About This Worksheet
Young children notice differences such as glasses or a wheelchair, and they learn from how adults talk about them. This pack frames differences positively: everyone is unique, and we can all be good friends.
Children colour pictures that celebrate differences, match situations to helpful actions, circle a child who might need help, play a yes-or-no game, trace kind phrases such as Can I help you?, sort friendly and unfriendly actions and spot the difference.
