Cultural Diversity Worksheet for Students to Explore and Share Family Traditions and Customs

This worksheet is asking you to share personal information about your own life and family. Because every person’s culture is different, there is no single "correct" answer key. Instead, I will provide example answers for each section to show you how to fill it out. You can use these examples as a guide, but you should write down what is true for *your* family.

Here is how you can think about each question:

1. Language my family and I speak: Think about the words you use at home. Do you speak English? Spanish? Mandarin? Maybe you speak two languages!
2. My favourite tradition: A tradition is something special your family does again and again. It could be eating a specific meal on Sundays, dancing, or telling stories.
3. My favourite traditional food: What is a delicious dish that comes from your culture? It might be something your grandparents taught your parents to make.
4. Clothes worn in my culture: Are there special outfits for holidays or weddings? Or maybe everyday clothes that are unique to your heritage (like a kimono, sari, kilt, or dashiki).
5. Holidays celebrated in my culture: These are special days of celebration. They might be religious holidays (like Christmas, Eid, or Diwali) or national holidays (like Independence Day).
