The Lemon Challenge
After exploring these ideas, collect the lemons again but this time peel the lemons before placing them in the basket. Then ask the children to again find their lemon. Presented with this quandary, children will usually exclaim, “But the lemons all look the same!” This reaction opens the door to discussing how people, like lemons, are often similar on the inside.
This 15-minute activity can have a long-lasting effect, especially if children are reminded of the lesson in times of conflict.
Done a similar thing with choc chip cookies!
This is good but comparing someone to a lemon in certain geographical area could have certain connotations. For Example, if you call some one a lemon in the Birmingham area, it suggests that they are a lesbian. I’ve seen this activity been done in an all girls school and went completely wrong.
