My Skin, Your Skin (KS1)

by Laura Henry-Allain MBE

My Skin, Your Skin is a powerful book to help children and adults have meaningful discussions about race and anti-racism. Most importantly, the book empowers children to be the best versions of themselves; to have self-love, self-esteem and self-worth, irrespective of their skin colour.

The following resources allow students in KS1 to explore the book’s themes of anti-racism and empowerment.

The resources include three activities:

Activity One – What makes you unique?
Explore our differences and reflect on what makes us unique
Activity Two – Let’s talk racism
Understanding racism, why it is wrong and what to do if they experience or see racism
Activity Three – Let’s talk empowerment
