Universal Children's Day Reading Passage

Read the passage together or in pairs, then children answer on their own. The short answer questions work well for a class talk about rights.

Two pages. Page 1 is a passage on how the day began in 1954, the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959, the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, its 54 articles and how UNICEF and landmarks mark November 20. Page 2 has 4 multiple choice questions and 2 short answer questions. Answer key included.

Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

6 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 Universal Children's Day resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our Universal Children's Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
