Rule, law or custom? — Rules Square · Justice
Nia keeps a notebook of all the things people say we must do. Some are club rules, some are laws, some are just customs. Sort them.
Your task
Sort each card.
- A rule belongs to a group or a place, like a club or a school. A law is made for a whole country, and courts can apply it. A custom is a habit many people share, but nobody is punished for skipping it.
- An invented story to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer.
- Everyone is equal before the law. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Understanding justice — You understood how this part of justice works.
- Fairness — You treated everyone fairly and listened to all sides.
- Safe & ask for help — You stayed safe and knew when to ask a trusted adult.
In real life
Countries write laws, schools and clubs write their own rules, and customs pass from family to family. All three can change over time, and customs are very different from place to place.

Invented stories to learn from, not legal advice. Laws differ from country to country. For a real problem, talk to a trusted adult or a lawyer; in an emergency call your country's number (112 in the EU). Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
