Categorising animals
- This activity is just one part of a range of resources addressing the needs of young people who have been involved, or who are at risk of being involved, in cruelty to animals. Our online assessment tool Developing a suitable intervention programme (Word 17KB) will help you create individualised intervention programmes from these resources.
- This activity extends the ideas introduced in the Everyday objects activity, but it can work as a standalone session. In it, young people begin to understand the relationship between the role of animals in all our lives and our responsibilities towards them.
- They will explore the concept that:
- more than one person may be responsible for meeting the needs of an animal
- even if we have an indirect link with an animal, we can have a sense of responsibility towards it and take action to ensure its welfare.
- It’s important to do the activity Smiley face in the Basic welfare needs and sentience section first.
