A step-by-step guide to play the game

Start with a general discussion about children's rights. Use the general overview poster as a guideline.

What rights do they know?
How important is it to know your rights?
What rights are respected and/or violated in their country, at school?
...

Have each player make their own balloon. Let them choose their favourite colour on paper and have them draw a balloon. Cut out the balloon with scissors.

Have the children write some rights on their balloon: a right they like, a right they remember, a right they enjoy .... The general overview poster of children's rights can function as an inspiration source.

Then glue a piece of thread to the bottom of the balloon.

The children glue all the balloons together and all the threads end up on the bottom. Here they can put in a basket or a picture of a child or themselves.

Go through the individual balloons and ask the players why they chose to add these specific rights in their balloon:

Why did you add this right to your balloon?
Why is this right important to you?
Are there other players choosing the same right?
...
