Children's rights in pictures

Children learn about their rights and draw them on a collaborative poster.

Steps

1. Conversation: what a right is and who protects children's rights (Convention on the Rights of the Child, Children's Ombudsman).
2. The teacher shows pictures representing rights: to education, play, care, expressing opinion, safety.
3. Children draw one right in groups.
4. Groups present their right through a short skit.
5. From the skits a poster is made; children learn the youth helpline number 116 111.

Tip: The Ombudsman for Children provides free downloadable materials for schools.

Materials needed

• coloured B1 poster board (1 sheet)
• coloured pencils (1 set per group)
