Hello in Different Languages

This is a fun, warm-up, cross-cultural activity. The group tries to come up the word(s) for "hello" in as many different languages as possible. Where does your name come from? Share the story of where your name comes from and what your name means. Helps to build intercultural respect and understanding. Active, fun group activity to explore and celebrate the rich diversity of people's past experiences. Works well with large groups. A World Meal consists of a limited amount of rice and beans. This is the average meal for the average person on the planet. Cook this for a group of others and encourage them in turn to cook a World Meal for others. This activity helps students become aware that so-called "intelligence" is culturally-bound and culturally defined. Attempt short IQ tests for mainstream US/Australian culture, Black-Rap 1960's culture, Australian Aboriginal culture. Ideal for class-room based education about psychology and culture, suited to older adolescents and adults. The tests are written in good humor.
