This week we are going to be exploring Article 31 – Leisure, play and culture
Article 31: Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural activities.
To help us explore the article further why not try one of the following activities?
Activity 1
Watch and listen to The Things I love about Playtime. Discuss how you play in school. How do you help each other enjoy your right to play? Create a display of everyone enjoying their favourite way of playing.
Activity 2
Some people like to relax by dancing. Different cultures have different traditional dances. Do you know any? Why not try to learn a traditional dance with your class using the programmes from BBC School Radio?
Activity 3
Can you draw a sausage dog? How about a panda or a turtle? Take part in an online art lesson – which will you choose?
Activity 4
Article 31 says that every child has the right to take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities. This includes museums and galleries.
Create an artwork of your own, inspired by objects and patterns from around the world.
Activity 5
How do you like to spend your free time? Think about what your ideal weekend would be like. Where would you go? What would you do? What activities would you participate in? What rights would you enjoy? Create a comic strip showing your dream weekend and share it with your class.
