The highest result of education is tolerance. -- Helen Keller
The more we understand what makes a person different from ourselves, the easier it is to remain patient and tolerate the differences.
Discuss times when each of you found yourselves feeling more tolerant in a situation as a result of a better understanding. I've always felt that I am more tolerant of people with physical handicaps because my father was in a wheel chair when I was growing up.

Describe your perfect house
In this game the players take turns comparing themselves with the other players naming something that makes the two people alike (we both like tacos) and then naming something that makes them different (but I can curl my tongue and you can't). Play several rounds requiring different characteristics to be named each time.
We are alike in some ways and different in others. We both like the computer, we both have brown hair, but you are smaller than I am.
