Large piece of paper and glue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long:<\/strong> 20-40 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a class, discuss what the words \u2018right\u2019 and \u2018responsibility\u2019 mean in the context<br \/>\nof child rights.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every child in Canada and around the world from birth to 18 has rights.<br \/>\nRights are what you should have or be able to do to survive, thrive and<br \/>\nmeet your full potential. All rights are equally important and are connected<br \/>\nto each other. You are born with these rights, and no one can take them<br \/>\naway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Children\u2019s rights are special because adults and governments need to<br \/>\nkeep the promises that they have made in the Convention on the Rights of<br \/>\nthe Child. Each right has a matching responsibility.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a class, make a list of different people that are responsible for child rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Hint:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Think of the people that help children to be healthy, safe, heard and to be<br \/>\nthemselves. Prompt: parents, doctors, police, teachers, nurses, social workers,<br \/>\nfaith-based leaders, clubs, government officials, etc.<\/li>\n<li>In pairs or small groups, ask the children to \u2018match\u2019 a \u2018right\u2019 with the<br \/>\n\u2018responsibility\u2019. Encourage the children to come to a consensus about why they<br \/>\nmatch.<\/li>\n<li>Glue cards onto a piece of paper for keeping or displaying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Reflection:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which were the easiest and most challenging cards to match? What was most<br \/>\ninteresting or surprising?<\/li>\n<li>What are some matching rights and responsibilities that you practice everyday at<br \/>\nschool? (E.g. I have the right to feel and be safe at school &#8211; not bullied; and I have<br \/>\nthe responsibility to be respectful and kind to others).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tips &amp; variations:<\/strong> In pre-COVID times, students played a \u2018fishing game\u2019 to match the rights and responsibilities. This could also be turned into a \u2018memory game\u2019 style activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/childthrive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2021\/11\/2-3-Activity-4.-Matching-Rights-and-Responsibilities.pdf\">PDF Activity 4 Outline<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Activity 4: Matching Rights and Responsibilities Why we like it: This activity encourages children to think about the connections between \u2018rights\u2019 and \u2018responsibilities\u2019.
