Fun with Character: Mix It Up At Lunch

Acceptance
Written By Guest User

A Mix It Up at Lunch event is a simple call to action: take a new seat in the cafeteria. By making the move, students can cross the invisible lines of school division, meet new people and make new friends.

This is a great activity that can be planned, organized and executed by the students for the whole student body. The mix up needs to have some level of control so that students aren’t picking friends. There needs to be a randomness to the table assignment. You may also need to plan some icebreaker questions so lunch doesn’t become a silent meal.

To process this activity, ask these or similar questions:

  • Was it scary to think of not picking your own seat in the cafeteria?

  • Did you meet anyone new at the lunch table?

  • Can you think of other habits that you aren’t really aware of?

  • Can you think of other ways we can approach diversity and acceptance?
