In this classroom activity, students use sight and touch to learn how powerfully words can affect relationships. Students participate verbally (through discussion) and physically (through volunteering and creation of a Six Secrets of Friendship Bag). In the end, each student will have a concrete and tangible reminder of the activity.

Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
