A step-by-step guide to play the game

As an introduction to the activity, scan the QR-code on the panel and listen together with the group of participants to the audiostory.

Then, explore the different rights linked to the right to development at the entrance of the school building. It's useful to have the children's rights overview panel at hand to check the different icons.

Try to find for each right a situation where the specific right is respected and where it is violated.

Discuss with the players the specific situations and why it's linked to the right to development.

The game ends when all the rights linked to development are discussed.

Extra game information

The 'Growing Minds, Growing Rights' poster is the overview poster for the right to development. This poster depicts a school environment where all different rights related to development can be found. This poster is one of the four storytelling posters linked to one of the dimensions of children's rights: survival, protection, development and participation. The storytelling poster is closely linked to the 'Different Abilities, Equal Rights' panel.

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

Ask the children to make a drawing about the right to development and what it means to them.
