Draw the Right

Ask the players to sit down in groups of four to five and choose a name for their group/team. Explain that in the activity they will compete in teams.

Each group is given one overview poster of the Convention on the Rights of the Child to look at during the game.

From each team, call one player. Give them one of the rights on the overview poster, e.g. "freedom from torture".

Tell them to return to their groups and draw a picture to represent the right while their teammates try to guess what it is. They may only draw pictures; no numbers or words may be used. No speaking is allowed, except to confirm the correct answer. The rest of the team may only say their guesses; they may not ask questions.

The team that guesses first gets a point. The team with the most points at the end wins.

After each round, ask all the players to write on their drawing what the right was, whether they finished it or not, and put the paper aside.

Do a second round; call new people to be the drawer and give them another right.

Do 7 or 8 rounds. In each round, a different person should draw. Try to make sure everyone can draw at least once.

At the end, ask the groups to pin their drawings so that the different interpretations and images of the different rights can be compared and discussed (see additional game information).
