Help children see that changing your appearance on the outside doesn't change who you really are.

Materials:

• Scarves
• Hats
• Sunglasses
• Mirror

Directions:

Disguise yourself in front of the children. First, put on a scarf to cover your hair. Explain that it is still you under the scarf. Then add a hat and sunglasses. Tell the children what you are doing at each step to remind them that you are still the same person.

Take off the disguise and let the children try on a variety of scarves, hats, and sunglasses. Encourage the children to look at themselves in a mirror as they dress up. Remind the children that even though they look different, they are still the same under the disguise.
