The Band-Aid Activity — equal is not always fair

Resource Type: Classroom & Homeschool Community-Building Activity
Suggested Age: 5–12 years (naturally adaptable)

A simple, memorable activity that helps children understand the difference between giving everyone the same thing and giving each person what they genuinely need.

Use this activity at the beginning of the school year, while establishing the culture of your classroom or home learning environment, or anytime children need a gentle reminder that receiving different support does not necessarily mean someone is receiving more.

INCLUDED:

• 12 pretend injury cards
• 12 matching care cards
• Printable Band-Aid cards
• Educator directions and discussion prompts
• Suggested match guide

Created by a classroom teacher turned homeschool mother of six, this activity has been used with children learning both in the classroom and around the kitchen table.

All Creature Curriculum resources are educator-designed, classroom-tested and built to support joyful, meaningful learning.
