Assembly idea: Acting it out
With thanks to Annie Clews.
Aims:
To encourage pupils to think about rights and responsibilities in
the way they treat, and are treated by, others.
What to do:
Ask pupils (preferably who have rehearsed) to play out several scenarios
showing different kinds of behaviour.
-
First scenario
A new pupil in school gets lost taking the register to the office
and asks for help from two other pupils. One is unkind and doesn't
help the newcomer, the other does.
-
Second scenario
It is playtime and some friends are playing together. Another
pupil comes up, wanting to join in. Some of the original group
say they can't play, others say they can.
-
Third scenario
At lunchtime a pupil takes an apple from another pupil's lunchbox.
The second pupil asks for it back: one person supports them
and another backs the person who took it. Just as each scenario
is being completed, 'freeze frame' the action and ask the audience
what they think each person in role feels like inside. Also
ask what the injured pupil has learnt from the behaviour of
the others.
