ERASMUS + “WE ARE EQUAL, WE HAVE THE SAME RIGTHS” ISTITUTO OMNICOMPRENSIVO LEONARDO DA VINCI ACQUAPENDENTE ITALY Jan - Feb 2015

About Children’s rights… We want to understand what “children’s rights” means. We talk about it in circle time; we read stories, sing songs, look at images and videos. Then we draw, invent, work together…

Article 6 Every child has the inherent right to life

Article 7 A child has the right from birth to a name

Article 9 A child will not be separated from his or her parents

Article 24 Right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health

Article 31 Right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities

Understanding the right to play: first we tell the story of Nadem, an african boy forced to work

We talk about the story and we work on it

We work in pairs, then we show the others our masterpieces

We listen to a song while watching the cartoon …

so we dance and sing

We rapresent the denied right to play

One day we invite a grandmother of ours to tell us about the games she played when she was young

then we try to reproduce some of the old games and we play them

We enjoyed to act the “school play” too…

Now we know: playing is the best thing to do when you are a child!

So, we are happy to go on learning our rights and taking part in Erasmus+ Project!
