Multicultural Games From Around the World

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's almost a Thanksgiving tradition - as you frantically cook, clean, ready the table and prep for company, your kids, helpful at first, inevitably get bored. Sure, you could park them in front of the TV, but parades and bowl games can hold their attention for only so long, despite all those impressive balloon floats. What to do? How about keeping your kids entertained with these children's games from around the world:
Big Snake (Ghana)
This one's great to play with a big group of cousins or neighbors in a large open space, like a basement. The kids choose one person to be the snake, which "lives" in an area marked off by tape, cones or whatever's handy.

When the game starts, the snake emerges from its home turf and tries to eat - or tag - the other players. Once a player has been tagged, he or she becomes part of the snake's body, holding the snake's hand or waist. The snake grows longer as more payers are tagged, but only the snake's head and tail are able to tag other players. If the snake's body breaks, it must return to its home turf and regroup. Free players may deliberately try to break the snake. When all players are part of the snake (or completely exhausted), the game is over. Sssssssso much fun! [ More info]
Piedra, Papel o Tijeras (Mexico)
Sure, you could call it Rock, Paper, Scissors, but that wouldn't be nearly as interesting - plus, this is a great way to introduce Spanish to kids. Whatever language kids use, the game is the same: Kids count to three and then use their hands to make a rock (a fist), paper (an open, flat hand) or scissors (two fingers out). Papel covers piedra, piedra breaks tijeras, and tijeras cuts papel. Terrific for two kids and good for your children's language skills to boot. [ More info]
La Barbichette (France)
It's like a staring contest, only with a French rhyme that's easy for kids to learn. Two kids hold each other's chins, stare into each other's eyes and say, " Je te tiens, tu me tiens, par la barbichette; Le premier qui rira, aura une tapette!" (Some versions vary.) The first one to laugh gets a gentle (that part's important to emphasize to your kids) token slap from the one who was able to keep a straight face. Expect lots of giggles from your kids, which is in itself something to be thankful for. [More info]
Does your family have any favorite games from other countries or cultures? If so, please share!

DO & DON’T

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In one of the first safe zone trainings I remember participating in, there was a loaded question about coming out that was followed by an excellent answer from the facilitator. The question was something like "Why don't some people come out of the closet?"

And the facilitator's answer elegantly touched on three different ideas: (1) that coming out is a personal decision; (2) there isn't only one closet; and (3) it's difficult to gauge how people might respond to the coming-out-er, so sometimes the risk of a bad response doesn't outweigh the gain of a positive one.
"Coming out" is a multi-faceted experience and decision. The facilitator's response took a question that was aiming for a simple answer - a question rooted in an overly (and harmfully) simplistic understanding of a complicated subject - and redirected it to address the nuance it deserved.
For everyone in the room, that response was eye-opening, in one way or another. Some people hadn't considered the risks, the repetitive nature, or how much they were pushing their own unhelpful opinions onto others (e.g., when they told their friends to "just come out already."). So now, all these years later, because we are still getting questions in trainings about coming out, Meg Bolger (co-creator with me at The Safe Zone Project) and I created this nifty little edugraphic.

We hope it clears up some misunderstandings, and provides clarity and nuance for folks who are unfamiliar with the nooks and crannies of coming out. Now, from the graphic...

Coming out of the closet is...
The process by which someone (1) accepts and identifies with their gender identity and/or sexual orientation; and (2) shares their identity willingly with others.
Sometimes we talk about coming out as if it were a one time thing. But for most folks coming out is a series of decisions - sometimes daily - that LGBTQ people navigate in every new setting they enter. (Most people aren't like Ellen, where they come out once and then the whole world knows.)

Being "Out" Is a Situation-by-Situation Decision

People may be "out" ? in some spaces, and "in" ? in others. They may be out (or not) to their family, their friends, their classmates/coworkers, or their religious community (just to name a few). A decision to com out to a person or group is one of safety, comfort, trust, and readiness.

I can still remember the first time I realized that coming out was going to be something that I would have to actively negotiate on an on-going basis my whole life. There aren't a lot of sentence I feel safe saying "my whole life" in at this point, but this is one of them. It's important for folks to know that this is something that is very much a part of my (and other LGBTQ+ folks) everyday experience and knowing ways to be understanding, supportive, and affirming of someone - especially at the beginning of their coming out journey - is incredibly important.

- Meg Bolger, The Safe Zone Project

DOs and DON'Ts when Someone Comes Out to You

A few helpful tips:

DON'T:

1. Say "I always knew," or downplay the significance of their sharing with you.

2. Go tell everyone, bragging about your "new trans friend."

3. Forget that they are still the person you knew, befriended, or loved before.

4. Ask probing questions, or cross personal barriers you wouldn't have crossed earlier.

5. Assume you know why they came out to you.

DO:

1. Know this is a sign of huge trust! (Yay!)

2. Check-in on how confidential this is (Do other people know? Is this a secret?)

3. Remember that their gender/sexuality is just one dimension (of many) of who they are.

4. Show interest and curiosity about this part of them that they are sharing with you.

5. Ask them how you can best support them.

Catalyst Project: a center for political education and movement building

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Catalyst Project works to consciously create a culture that helps white people take strategic and effective anti-racist action as a part of multiracial movements.

We think that white anti-racist organizing requires that we move away from competitive, individualist thinking, and instead support as many people as we can to be effective change agents, working in accountable relationships with people of color-led organizations. These shifts in organizing culture help create more sustainable and vibrant movements to win transformative change.

These are some of the ways Catalyst is working to shift white anti-racist culture:

We draw these concepts from our own experiences and mistakes, as well as feedback from mentors of color and white people we've organized with.

The tendencies in the "Shift From" column produce individuals whose primary concern is being the quickest to critique everything-a practice often encouraged within higher education that fosters distancing or dismissal of people or practices. This practice tends to feed ego, not justice.

We cultivate the "Shift Towards" qualities in order to become bold, grounded leaders who look for opportunities, seek growth for themselves and their communities, and are committed to building the leadership of more people.

Will you help us build irresistable movements with these qualities?

In Love and Struggle,
Catalyst Project
