United Nations Day Teaching Tips
Overview
Explore activities and insights related to the United Nations (U.N.) and peaceful conflict resolution in honor of United Nations Day on October 24. This guide offers engaging ideas and educational exercises to help students understand and appreciate the U.N.'s mission.
Teaching Suggestions
Excerpt Discussion
1. U.N. Charter Exploration: Start by reading this excerpt from the U.N. Charter:
"We the peoples of the United Nations determine...to live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, to work for the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to promote better standards of life."
Discuss its meaning and implications.
2. Create a Puzzle: Use key words from the excerpt to make a criss-cross puzzle. It's a fun way to reinforce vocabulary.
3. Math Connection: Relate the concept of "equal" as used in the charter to its definition in mathematics, fostering a cross-curricular link.
Research Activities
4. U.N. Member Nations: Have students research and list all member nations. They can:
- Alphabetize the list.
- Count syllables in the names.
- Locate them on an atlas, noting which continent has the most and least members.
- Identify charter members and countries that joined later.
- Work in groups to explore each country in more detail.
5. Word Scramble: Unscramble these country names:
- DESWEN, LAPNOD, GARTENANI, SUITARALA, DIANI, GEPTY, TRAGE TRABINI, NADACA, HACNI, TENUDI TASSET.
Then, use the letters to form two words representing the U.N.'s goals: WORLD PEACE.
