This resource includes an English and Spanish version of the Refugees Activity. These are perfect for your bilingual or dual-language classrooms. Build empathy, critical thinking, and global awareness with this Refugees Writing Craft and SEL Activity! Designed for primary students, this powerful resource helps children understand the lives of refugees through thoughtful writing, social-emotional learning (SEL), and a creative craft.

Through engaging prompts and a Venn diagram comparison, students reflect on what life might be like for a refugee child. They’ll consider needs vs. wants, express their thoughts through writing, and explore how to help others. This activity promotes empathy, gratitude, and cultural understanding—skills essential for global citizenship.

Skills Practiced:

• Social-Emotional Learning (Empathy & Perspective-Taking)
• Critical Thinking (Compare & Contrast, Reflection)
• Writing Across the Curriculum (Opinion, Narrative, Informative)
• Cultural & Global Awareness
• Vocabulary development

Why Teachers Love It:
Teachers love how this resource opens deep and age-appropriate conversations while integrating literacy and SEL. It’s flexible for World Refugee Day, International Day of Peace, or any global awareness unit. Plus, the included craft makes a meaningful classroom display!
