Extra game information

The general overview poster shows all the articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The UNCRC consists of 54 articles that set out children’s rights and how governments should work together to make them available to all children. On this child-friendly poster, all 54 articles are depicted. This poster functions as the main starting point for the All Children, All Rights package. Therefore it's highly recommended to always have this overview poster at hand when doing activities on children's rights.


All children's rights icons used on the posters are created by UNICEF for their child-friendly version of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Variations

  • By using the children's rights playing cards, you can also play a traditional memory game by putting all the cards upside down and ask players to always turn two different cards. If they are able to identify a pair, they get one point and they can try again. If they fail to find a pair, another player can try.
  • The youth worker can hide some card sets in the mobile school, the players have to find as many pairs as possible (in a limited time).
