CHILDREN'S RIGHTS SQUARES [1]

This adapted activity is borrowed from human rights field to introduce students to different topics of Children's rights. During this 15-min activity each participant should find a different person from the group to answer one question and put his/her name in the square. The task is to answer as many squares as possible during the allotted time, and find out which questions were so difficult to answer. It is a useful tool as part of the intake and determination of the different levels in the class.
