Safety - Safe or Unsafe?

This game is part of "The Children's Parliament: Access to Justice - International Day for Street Children 2026" activity, and helps explore the pillar of Safety through play. 

This activity encourages children to reflect on personal feelings of safety and understand that situations can feel different depending on the person. It builds awareness and critical thinking around everyday experiences.

Discussion tips:

To spark a reflection and deepen the conversation, at the end of the game you can ask the players questions like:

• Can the same situation feel different for others? Why?
• What makes something safe or unsafe?
• Who can help if something feels unsafe?  

If you are playing with younger groups

Use clear everyday situations and allow simple answers, then guide the conversation towards safety and children's rights during the discussion part.

If you are playing with older groups

Introduce more complex scenario and encourage discussion of different perspectives after each round.

Challenge

Allow a "middle" position and ask players to justify their choice or debate different viewpoints.

• Develop awareness of personal feelings of safety.
• Understand that safety can feel different for each person.
• Encourage critical thinking and discussion.
