From football
in the playground to PlayStation with your mates, playing
is one of the best and most important things about
being young. We may be forced to spend time doing things
we don't like, but we also spend a lot of time having
fun. And the lessons we learn while messing around
friends are just as important as those taught in the
classrooms.
However, millions of children are
denied the opportunity to play as a result of poverty,
conflict,
discrimination and abuse. Kids like to play at being
soldiers, but for thousands of children these war
games are all too real. An estimated 30,000 children
are
believed to be fighting in dangerous armed conflicts
today. While hundreds of millions of kids worldwide
are also denied their childhood right, forced to
work during their spare time in order to raise money
for
their families.
The animations on this page produced
by Year 8 students explore the importance of play
and having fun and address the plight of the millions
of
kids denied this right.
