Harmony Day Badge Maker Worksheet

Celebrate diversity and belonging with this fun “Make a Badge” worksheet for Harmony Day!

Why This Worksheet Is Great

This activity gives students a creative way to explore what Harmony Day means. By designing their own badge, kids can express important values like inclusion, respect, and unity — all while practising art skills and reflecting on how we celebrate together.

What’s Inside

• A circular badge template surrounded by joined hands motif

• A banner/ribbon shape underneath for text (e.g. slogans or themes)

• Space to include the theme or personal message of Harmony Day

• Plenty of room for colour, symbols, words — everything that makes a badge uniquely meaningful

Why It’s Useful

• Encourages students to think about and articulate values like belonging, respect, diversity

• Builds design & fine motor skills (colouring, drawing)

• Supports discussion about cultural inclusion and what makes Harmony Day special

• Can be used for display, or as something children can wear on the day

How To Use It in Class (or at Home)

1. Begin with a discussion: What is Harmony Day? What are some symbols that represent inclusion? What colours might embody unity (e.g. orange is often used for Harmony Day in Australia)?

2. Hand out the badge templates to students. Explain that they’ll design their badge to show what Harmony Day means to them.

3. Ideas for what students might include:

   • Words like belonging, respect, unity, friendship

   • Symbols (hands, hearts, people of many colours, doves, globe etc.)

   • Colour schemes — maybe orange plus other colours that represent cultures in the class

   • Personal touches (something about their heritage or something they value)

4. Let students sketch & colour their badge. You could allow collage or mixed media if materials available.

5. Optional: Have students share their designs and explain their choices. Display in the classroom or hallway.

Tips

• Print on card stock for durability if students want to wear their badges

• If possible, provide examples of badges to spark ideas

• Encourage students to think beyond visuals — what message do they want people to see/hear
