Teachable Moments
Inclusion and Accessibility Puzzles
By Rev. Sofia Craethnenn, Racial and Ethnic Concerns
and Rev. Dr. Devorah Greenstein, Accessibility Associate
Identity Based Ministries, UUA
One of the great gifts of congregational life is the abundance of teachable moments that arise in our day-to-day interactions as learners. In congregational life with children, we often find ourselves in need of fun resources to begin in-depth conversations about our first principle. It can be hard for us to start difficult conversations about our struggles against oppression and racism. We need tools that open the door to good conversations.
The Identity Based Ministries Staff Group is committed to working with our congregations to find ways to engage with these critical issues. We are offering these activity sheets as a way to generate teachable moments. We do not think of these puzzles and coloring pages as ways to keep children (or adults!) busy, or to distract them during a service. Our intention is to provide activities that can be used as part of any lesson about diversity or what it means to be welcoming.
Activity sheets include  :
