At ideazsuper, we are committed to teaching children to find virtues and values of life and to firmly act upon them, such as to have a conscience about human rights, equality, and justice for all.

Our World Human Rights Day worksheets and activities are designed to engage preschoolers and their families in a way that promotes understanding and appreciation of equality and justice. Parents can help their kids to develop a firm foot in human rights values by engaging in these activities. World Human Rights Day aligns with our mission to provide educational resources (such as worksheets and game-based activities) to children, which is one of the fundamental rights of children.

Introduction

Unfortunately, there are millions of children in this world who are deprived of their basic rights, they do not have any legal identity or a proper place to live in. Those poor souls are abused, face malnutrition and on top of that child labour. This report revealed many statistics regarding children’s rights violation one of which is that globally, over 61 million children do not attend primary school. To fight this violation, World Human Rights Day is observed every year on December 10th. This day is a reminder to reflect upon and promote awareness about our dear world’s inequality and human rights issues. This day also aims to analyze the root cause of the problem and the progress made in the fight for equality and justice.

For parents and young kids, this day is full of opportunities for learning and introducing our kids to the concepts of fairness, respect, and empathy. At Ideazsuper, we believe in empowering parents and guardians with tools to teach these critical values to their children through fun and interactive activities.

History of Human Rights Day

Human Rights Day was recognized in 1948 when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  This document set out all the fundamental human rights that must be protected universally under the law. From that year onwards, on December 10th, “World Human Rights Day” is celebrated worldwide to advocate and raise awareness about human rights-related issues. On this day, communities join their hands to appreciate the Principles of Equality and Justice.

Creative Ways to Teach Preschoolers about Human Rights

Teaching preschoolers about human rights can be both fun and impactful with these creative approaches:

1.     Role-Playing: 

Encourage children to act out scenarios where they practice kindness and fairness.

2.     Nature Walks: 

Use outdoor explorations to discuss how everyone has the right to enjoy a clean environment.

4.     Discussion Circles: 

Discussion circles are a good way to strike meaningful and positive conversations among children and share their thoughts or relatable stories about human rights, fairness, and respect.

5.     Talk about history:

Storytelling is the best way to teach kids about the concept of equality. Telling them about the actual events would help them to understand and relate to human rights concepts in a better way. You can further talk to your kids about the social, economic, cultural, and political rights of men, women, kids, older people, disabled, workers, and many more.

These methods help make abstract concepts more tangible for young minds.
