Equality is about making sure everyone has the same opportunities to live, work, and grow without unfair barriers. This is not only a legal right, but it also includes addressing hidden biases and making sure inclusion is part of everyday life.
The Equality Worksheets feature two activity pages designed to help clients understand why equal rights matter. On the Equality In Action page, clients work on identifying protected characteristics, suggesting actions to promote fairness, and reflecting on how equality can shape the world. The Equality For All page lets clients examine situations where equality is violated, think of ways to resolve them, and identify what equality looks like versus what it does not.
Completing these worksheets helps kids and teens learn to respect and value others as much as themselves. They can apply this learning by starting small, such as taking turns or listening before speaking.
Caring adults can reinforce these lessons by modeling equality and encouraging open conversations about fairness.
Our All About Equality handout nicely complements these worksheets.
