Educator Resource Guide

Built around Guinea Pigs Don’t Wear Pants by Chris Paul (Rainbows) Farias, these flexible lesson plans help educators spark thoughtful, age-appropriate conversations about individuality, self-expression, belonging, and inclusion. Designed for elementary classrooms across Canada and the United States, the activities connect to Language Arts, Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, Physical Education, and Social-Emotional Learning while supporting a wide range of learning styles and curriculum expectations. Each lesson encourages students to celebrate who they are, build empathy for others, and explore identity through discussion, creativity, movement, and community connection.
