World Children's Day - Assembly

“My purpose is to engage students in dialogue so they can see other’s points of view – in a world that needs this more than ever. I do this by sharing resources on this site which connect students with the past and inspire critical thinking. Please read below to find details about this one.” Dan

This resource is titled “World Children’s Day – Assembly.”

The 63-slide PowerPoint assembly begins with starter anagrams with explanations. Get four students to come to the front with a whiteboard and marker and make it a game. Each is a child who has changed the world such as Malala, Mozart, Ruby Bridges etc. A script is provided so students can read out key information about World Children’s Day. This is followed by a short video from UNICEF. There is then a teacher led interactive true or false quiz featuring 10 questions about the day. The assembly invites students to become active changers and features graduated criteria which are revisited at the end. The assembly concludes with a talk from Audrey Hepburn inviting them to share their thoughts (this can be with post it notes or using the Padlet website). It is a lesson which is designed for 11-18 year old students. I hope your students get as much out of this lesson as mine always do.
