Storyline Highlights:

The play begins with a familiar scenario – an argument about sharing on the playground – to introduce the concept of fairness.

The characters of “Need” and “Want” are personified to help children understand the difference between essential resources and non-essential goods.

The play uses a visual demonstration with a “World” circle and a “Sharing Basket” to illustrate the unequal distribution of resources globally.

Children are encouraged to empathize with those who lack basic necessities and to consider how they can promote fairness in their own lives and on a larger scale.

The play concludes with a song and a series of pledges, reinforcing the message that fairness is a choice and that everyone can contribute to a more equitable world.

This assembly script offers a meaningful and engaging way to introduce Key Stage 2 children to important concepts of fairness, global citizenship, and social responsibility.
