Activity: Why have rules?
PSHE & Citizenship: 1a. 2a.
View activity
The children are invited to take a class vote on a set of proposed school rules.
Discussion
Talk about the rules in your school. Which ones do the children think are particularly important? Are there any rules they think are unnecessary, or would they like any additional ones? Would your school rules be suitable for a new school?
Role play
The children can work in small groups and mime something from everyday life. This might be a game, a lesson at school, a street scene and so on. The audience have to identify the rule that is being followed.

Extension activities

- Challenge the children to design a leaflet for a Martian to explain either the rules of school or the rules of their home. The Martian has very little language, but is good at understanding pictures.
- Ask the children to find another set of rules. The rules can be about anything at all. They can write a paragraph to explain the value of the rules. Make a classroom display and talk about the common themes.
- Show the children a collection of newspaper articles which describe incidents of law breaking. The children can choose one or two and write their opinion about which law is being broken and why they think the action was wrong.
