Instructions

Before you begin
- Use the safety checklist to help you plan and risk assess your activity. Take a look at our guidance to help you carry out your risk assessment, including examples.
- Make sure all young people and adults involved in the activity know how to take part safely.
- Make sure you’ll have enough adult helpers. You may need some parents and carers to help.


Planning and setting up this activity
- Print out Miserable face on A3, from page 12 Rights challenge badge resources.
- Print out snot template on to green paper (page 13 Rights challenge badge resources) and cut them out, so there are at least 2 snots per person.

Running this activity
- Gather everyone around and tell that today they will look at things or issues that affect them and that need to change. At a local level these could be things like uneven pavements, lack of cycle paths or unsafe parking outside their school. At an international level these could be things like climate change, child refugees and children affected by war. Understanding the role of “local superheroes” such as teachers, police officers, firefighters and volunteers who help them and their community to make positive change possible. Understanding the role of governments and councils as people whose job it is to make sure that children get their human rights.
- Draw a large picture of a miserable face with a cold on A3 paper (or print out the one provided page 12 Rights challenge badge resources).
- In small groups ask everyone to think about what is not fair or ‘snot fair’! Ask everyone to write a word or draw a picture to illustrate their thoughts on green ‘snot-shaped ’paper and stick these all over the miserable face.
- Go through and discuss how the things identified as ‘snot fair’ could be done better and how we can support everyone to make sure their voices are heard.
- OPTIONAL: Take a photo of the snotty face and send it to the Commissioner’s office along with some of the issues and ideas the young people expressed. The Commissioner’s office will learn about what matters to you and will collate your views to inform their work.
