LC: To recognise reasons for rules and laws.

What are rules?

Rules are a set of instructions to help individuals, and whole communities, live and work together harmoniously. You’re likely to find rules in schools, workplaces and in the home.

Do you have rules at home? What are they?

 

What do you think will happen if you break a rule? 

What would happen if you broke a school rule? 

 

What are laws?

Much like rules, laws are a set of instructions put in place to keep people safe, maintain order in society, protect rights and property. The difference is that the consequences of breaking a law are much more severe.

Laws are created and enforced by the government and/or the police, and hold everyone to the same standard of accountability. 

What could happen if you broke the law?

Breaking the law is classed as a criminal offence. Punishment can come in the form of fines, community service or even jail time.

Activity
