Part B: Match Rights to Responsibilities
Draw a line from each right to the matching responsibility.
1. Match each right to its responsibility.
Right to learn
→ Do your homework
Follow safety rules
Right to be safe
→ Follow safety rules
Listen when others talk
Right to play
→ Share and take turns
Do your homework
Right to speak
