Rights and Responsibilities

Introduction

Rights and responsibilities are like two sides of a coin. They go together. Just like you have the right to play, you also have the responsibility to clean up your toys after playing.

Rights

Rights are things that you are allowed to do or have. For example:

• Right to Education: You have the right to go to school and learn new things.
• Right to Play: You have the right to play with your friends and have fun.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities are things you should do. For example:

• Cleaning Up: It is your responsibility to clean up your room and keep it tidy.
• Respecting Others: It is your responsibility to treat others with kindness and respect.

Fun Activity

Ask your friends to make a list of rights and responsibilities they have at home and in school. Share your lists with each other and discuss why they are important.

Remember

• Rights are things you are allowed to do or have.
• Responsibilities are things you should do.
• We all have both rights and responsibilities in our daily lives.
