As New Zealanders our Parliament makes rules that make it easier for us all to live together. We call these rules laws. We are more likely to obey rules if we gave a say in making them. Groups brainstorm and report back. Pupils list as many rules as they can think of under each category.
Groups report back justifying their decisions.
Take a vote to decide whether or not to adopt each rule for the class. It is likely that the pupils will have far too many rules listed. Have pupils revisit their adopted rules to make them simple to remember and easy to follow. Publish and display list of rules. Discuss reactions and feelings.
