Above all, talk to the students about what their job is and the responsibility they have as students. After they learn about how their school functions, move out into the community, starting with crossing guards, bus drivers, police officers, etc. Discuss how these people have the position of keeping others safe and enforcing the rules. Also, make sure students understand their responsibility of following rules to ensure the safety of others, as well as themselves. Rules come in many shapes and sizes.
Rules help keep people safe and systems running smoothly.
Without rules there would be no direction or structure and people and the environment would become chaotic. Every broken rule has a consequence, but if rules are obeyed, they become a source of happiness and contentment. Some rule making in the classroom is necessary in order to have a structured and secure environment, but it is not intended that law-related education should increase rule making or detract from the spontaneity. A relaxed atmosphere in which young children are able to thrive and develop is the healthiest and strongest. When teaching students about rules, keep their interests in mind as well as the school and district policies.
