Intro
June is Pride Month! It’s all about coming together in love and friendship to mark and celebrate how far LGBTQ+ rights have come. It’s the perfect opportunity to raise awareness and make all residents feel welcome and included
(If you didn’t know, Pride stands for promote, respect, inclusion, and dignity for everyone. And LGBTQ+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning.)
Ever heard of Gilbert Baker? He invented the now familiar and iconic Pride rainbow flag with its 8 vibrant coloured stripes. The humble guy declined to trademark it, saying it was symbol for everyone.
In this simple, eye-pleasing activity, we’re going to create that vibrant flag by pouring layers of colourful sand into jars. These lovely decorations are guaranteed to liven up any shelf or windowsill during Pride Month.
This activity is perfect for a small group activity of around 4.
