As part of our Hands Passport activity in the From Small Hands to European Dreams project, I first showed my Class 3 pupils how to create their own hand passport by drawing an example on the board.
Then, each pupil traced their hand on a piece of paper. On the fingers, they wrote their hobby, favourite music, colour, animal, and a wish. In the palm, they wrote their nickname, and on the wrist, they drew the flag of our country.
After everyone had finished, we looked at our hand passports together and compared our answers. We counted how many pupils chose blue as their favourite colour, dogs as their favourite animals, and which hobbies and types of music were the most popular in their class.
Later, we compared their results with those of our project partners from other countries. We discovered many similarities and a few differences, but most importantly, we found that children from different parts of Europe often have the same interests, favourite things, and dreams. It was a fun way for children to learn more about themselves and our international friends.
