Remember Unity Day and Orange Shirt Day with this engaging and educational foldable craft activity designed for 2nd to 5th-grade students. This resource promotes awareness of the importance of unity, kindness, and the message "Every Child Matters." It features four unique shirt designs, two characters (a boy and a girl), and two (groups of friends) reflecting unity to encourage creativity and personal expression. With 12+ thought-provoking questions about unity day, Orange Shirt Day, students can reflect on the historical and cultural significance of this day while creating their own foldable crafts.

The day aims to raise awareness about the history and long-lasting effects of residential schools, which were institutions where the government forcibly sent Indigenous children in an attempt to assimilate them into Euro-Canadian culture. Many of these children experienced abuse, neglect, and loss of their cultural identities.)

What's Included:

• 4 shirt templates in different styles
• 2 character options (boy and girl)
• Groups of friends (2 slides)
• 12+ Orange Shirt Day-themed questions

In this primary resource, students will explore 8 engaging, no-prep activities that celebrate Indigenous culture, each tied to one of the Sacred Teachings. Learn about love (eagle), respect (buffalo), courage (bear), honesty (sasquatch), wisdom (beaver), humility (wolf), and truth (turtle). For a deeper dive into these animals—including their life cycles, diets, habitats, and cultural significance—be sure to check out the 7 Sacred Teachings Animal Bundle! I also have an intermediate/middle school resource covering the 7 Sacred Teachings
