Harmony Day and Harmony Week: Editable Concertina Heart Craft Activity

This resource is part of the Gifted and Talented Teacher Harmony Week collection of teacher resources designed to support kindness, connection, and wellbeing in the classroom. Created as a printable teacher resource, it helps educators foster positive classroom culture while supporting meaningful learning experiences.

Create a meaningful and visually engaging Harmony Week activity with this Heart Concertina Display, designed to celebrate identity, belonging, and student voice in a simple yet impactful way.

This versatile craft invites students to explore what makes them unique while reflecting on the importance of inclusion and community.

Each piece begins with a heart that is cut in half to form the front and back covers of a concertina fold. When opened, the heart reveals a hidden sequence of pages, creating a powerful “unfolding” effect that symbolises sharing our stories and understanding one another.

Inside the concertina, students respond to (editable) prompts such as: Harmony means…, My culture…, I am unique because… and I hope for…

These prompts are fully editable, allowing you to tailor the activity to your class, co-construct questions with students, or align with your school’s focus. This flexibility ensures the task is both meaningful and responsive to your learners.

This teacher resource  includes:

• Heart templates for concertina covers
• Editable prompts (customise to suit your class)

Vertical Display Option

• Peg from string to create a flowing, eye-catching installation
• Ideal for shared spaces, hallways, or whole-school displays

Create a space where every student’s voice can be seen and valued. As each heart opens, it reveals a story — building a classroom culture where everyone feels understood, respected, and connected.
