MET Experiential Examples for Systemic Racism for Children with ASD

Experiential Examples: Create a scenario for children to experience inequality on the basis of something outside their control (e.g., initials, height, hand size) to illustrate systemic racism. It is important that caregivers facilitate conversations surrounding systemic racism following these activities.
Exclusion	Plan a game/activity, but exclude some children.
Unequal distribution	Share a food or toy unequally (e.g., more slices of pizza, more time with a video game).
Games	Give children an advantage during games (e.g., more starting money in Monopoly, head start during races).
Leadership	Assign some children to be the “boss” for the activity so they have absolute control over the game.
