Introduction (5 minutes)** - Begin with a friendly greeting and a short song to gather the children’s attention. - Briefly introduce the topic by explaining that everyone has special things called rights that help us be happy and safe. #### **2. Story Time (10 minutes)** - Read a short, engaging picture book that illustrates examples of the three basic rights (safe, respected, and learn). Preferably choose a book with colorful illustrations and simple language appropriate for the age group. - As you read, emphasize the parts of the story where characters are being safe, respected, and learning. #### **3. Discussion and Q&A (5 minutes)** - Discuss the story with the students by asking simple questions: - "Can you show me a picture where the character is being safe?" - "What does it mean to be respected? Can you give me an example?" - "How do we know when we are learning something?" #### **4. Visual Aids Activity (5 minutes)** - Show pictures or flashcards depicting children in different scenarios at school, such as playing safely, sharing toys, and listening to a teacher. - Ask the children to identify which right the picture is showing. #### **5. Role-Play with Puppet/Stuffed Toy (10 minutes)** - Use a puppet or stuffed toy to act out short scenes where the toy demonstrates each right. - Example Scene 1: The toy is playing on the playground safely. - Example Scene 2: The toy is saying "please" and "thank you" showing respect. - Example Scene 3: The toy is paying attention to the teacher and learning new things. - Encourage the children to suggest how the toy should behave in each situation. #### **6. Coloring Activity (10 minutes)** - Hand out coloring sheets depicting each of the three rights (e.g., children playing safely, children sharing/respecting each other, children in a classroom learning). - Allow the children to color the sheets while you walk around and engage them in talking about what they are coloring. #### **7. Conclusion and Recap (5 minutes)** - Gather the students into a circle and quickly recap the three rights they learned about: being safe, being respected, and learning. - End with a short, fun song or rhyme related to the topic. - Thank the children for their participation and remind them of how important it is to practice these rights every day. --- #### **Assessment:** - Observe and note individual participation during discussions and activities to ensure comprehension. - Check the coloring sheets to see if children can correctly identify and represent each right. #### **Follow-Up:** - Encourage parents to discuss these rights with their children at home. - Display the completed coloring sheets in the classroom as a reminder of their rights. --- This lesson plan is designed to be engaging and age-appropriate for Nursery 1 students, providing a foundation for understanding their basic rights in a school setting.
