HUMAN RIGHTS MODULE FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL
Implementation steps
1. The students are divided into groups of 3.
2. Each student is given 1 minute to choose a character to depict, that is, a deaf person,
a blind person or a person with a physical disability.
3. Each student is required to use a different prop provided by the teacher
according to the character he/she has chosen:
Character
Prop and Description
Deaf
Wears the raincoat (if available) or plastic sheet as a substitute
for the raincoat
Blind
Holds the water bottle with both eyes covered with a blindfold
PWD (physical disability) Stands at a distance of 150 cm from the ‘deaf’ and ‘blind’
students. The paper cup is placed on the head of the ‘deaf’
person. The ‘physically handicapped’ person will give
instructions to the ‘blind’ person to pour the water into the
cup on the ‘deaf’ person’s head until it is almost full.
4. Each group is given 10 – 15 minutes to demonstrate their characters while the teacher
monitors them.
