One of the significant topics to which attention should be paid is the duties and rights of the child. A class hour devoted to this issue can be spent both in the first and in the eleventh grade. Quite often, children do not know about their rights, about how to protect them. But what is even sadder, students do not know their responsibilities. Therefore, the main goal of any teacher is to tell children about their rights and obligations, familiarize themselves with basic regulatory documents, such as the "Convention on the Rights of the Child," and teach them how to protect their interests.
What is a class hour?
First of all, it is necessary to understand what a classroom hour is, what are its main goals.
The classroom hour is an educational lesson where not only the school collective life of the class is planned, this or that task is prepared, but, first of all, an educational conversation is held.
Any classroom hour begins with defining a topic, setting goals and objectives. The form of work, the genre and the name of the event are selected. Then, thorough preparation for it is carried out - the material is selected and compiled, a lesson is drawn up.
After the event is completed, it is useful to analyze it both independently and with the participation of students.
A distinctive feature of the classroom hour from any other lesson is that it does not have a clear time schedule, is not tied to a specific place. It can be carried out by both children and adult school workers, while choosing any place - a classroom, an assembly hall, a museum, a library, or even go out into the nature.

Event start
At the beginning of the lesson, it is necessary to bring the children to the topic of the lesson, to update the supporting knowledge on the topic. You can do this in the following way:
1. To begin with, it is recommended to read a fragment from the book “The Golden Key, or The Adventures of Pinocchio”, which describes the treatment of Karabas Barabas with dolls. Then you need to ask the children how the owner of the puppet theater behaves with dolls. Is it good? Does he violate the rights of the child?
It is advisable to start the classroom hour in elementary school this way. Note that in this way it is possible to interest not only kids, but also high school students.
2. Conduct a conversation with students by asking them the following questions:
- What do they mean by the term "law"?
- What rights of a child do they know?
- What do they think, who and how protects their rights?
After the children express their opinion, the teacher can go to the main part and familiarize the children with the rights of the child.
Conversation
A compulsory part of the educational event is a conversation, during which the teacher acquaints children with their rights and obligations, documents that protect their rights.
So, during the conversation, the class teacher must:
1. Tell about the documents that regulate the rights of the child and person:
- "Convention on the Rights of the Child", adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989, November 20.

Sample types of tasks
We suggest that you use the following types of tasks when studying the topic “Children's Rights” during the class hour. Grade 7 will cope with these tasks best. They will be interesting for high school students. For elementary school, we recommend choosing something simpler.
1. The class is divided into three large groups. Students are encouraged to compose their own declaration in tabular form. In this case, the first group fills in the column “We have the right to ...”, the second - “We are obligated ...”, the third - “We are never obligated ...”
2. Discuss with your children which rights and obligations are being fulfilled and which are being violated. Why?
3. Another very interesting task for high school students. Invite them to draw up a memo-charter of the school for younger students, to draw it up in the form of a poster.
4. Give students a list of key normative documents on children's rights. Suggest dividing them into two columns - international and Russian legal acts.
5. The event on the theme “Children's Rights” (classroom) hour can start by filling out the following form:
1. What rights do you have?
2. What are your responsibilities?
3. What violations do you most often encounter? Violation of rights or obligations?
4. What are rights?
5. What are responsibilities?
6. Why are rights and obligations necessary?
At the end of the lesson, invite students to re-read their profiles. Ask if they would change their answers.
6. Suggest life situations and ask the children to predict them, indicate who is right and who is to blame.
Note that during the lesson “The Rights of the Child” (class hour for grades 1–5), situations from fairy tales can also be used.
Examples of situations for high school students:
- Vasya does not want to be on duty, as child labor is prohibited.
- Fedya painted the desk, as he has the right to creativity and self-expression.
- Nastya listens loudly to music after 12 a.m., as she has the right to rest.
- Petya runs around the class during the lesson and claims that he has the right to freedom of movement.
Summarizing

Children can be asked to answer the following questions:
- What new things did you learn during the classroom?

- What are your responsibilities?
- How to treat others in order not to violate their rights?

Reflection
It is advisable to complete the class hour “Rights and obligations” of the child with reflection. For its implementation, you can use emoticons with different faces. Students should pick up and show a smiley face that displays their mood at the end of the lesson.
It is advisable that they explain their choice.
