Article 31 in Action: World Play Map (FREE for World Children’s Day)
 
Celebrate World Children’s Day (20 November) by honouring every child’s right to play.
This free, ready-to-use map invites children and families to explore how children play around the world—then choose a game to try together right there at your service.
 
What’s included
A3 World Play Map (landscape): 20+ traditional, easy-to-run games pinned to their countries.
A4 Educator Quick Guide: one-page setup, safety prompts, and 1–2 sentence rules for each game.
 
How it works
Display the map in your room or foyer.
Invite participation: “Pick a country on the map and try that game with your child today!”
 
Article 31 (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child): affirms every child’s right to rest, leisure, play and participation in cultural life and the arts. This resource makes that right visible and lived.
Children compare how peers play across cultures, building belonging, curiosity, empathy and respect, while practising movement, cooperation, turn-taking, problem-solving and self-regulation—through joyful play.
