This activity aims to ensure that students are familiar with experiences such as the status of oppressed and oppressors, so they can understand better the situation of those who are oppressed by someone else or who make part of a minority.
The teacher distributes labels in 2 different colours, e.g. yellow and green. Then the teacher explains a series of rules that will be applied in different ways depending on the colour of the label (between 6 and 8 rules). They give privileges to those who hold yellow label (for example) and bans to those who hold the green ones. This activity could be coupled with a leisure activity to make students experience their new condition in a real context.
Finally the teacher asks the students to explain their feelings as a “yellow” or “green” participant. The whole group will make an assessment of the experience and discuss about the conditions of minority cultural groups.
This activity offers alternatives and suggestions for follow-up. There is also an English version for this activity: http://www.eycb.coe.int/edupack/55.html.
