Don't call it civil rights. Start talking to them about how they treat their friends and how they like to be treated. Start with "what would happen if... " or "would it be right if ..." or "was is ... like this"
Make it relevant to their world - not yours. Remember kids aren't racist. Kids, at least under 5 don't discriminate. They see people as people - it is adults that have the problems. Talk about people, talk about what respect is. Talk about everyone is equal.
You could also read/make up a bedtime story using civil rights leaders as characters - remember to end it positively though.
Once upon a time there was a lady called Rosa ...
When she died, lots of people around the world were very sad and upset, but Rosa had made the world a much better place, so we should be happy. Everyone dies, but the important thing is to understand how you can make people happy and help stop bad things happening to people.
Hope this helps. If you are thinking about civil rights - you will be fine. Go with your instinct and lead with love.

You shouldnt teach kids about civil rights per se.
You should teach kids, to never just believe what they are told, give them the options to find out for themselves what their civil rights are. You should teach them that they should always question not just the government but everything, shouldnt just accept things.

Bring up a controversial topic and let them argue about it. Then talk about how people in other countries don't have the freedom to discuss political things like....whatever.
Also, a mock trial is quite effective.

that's tough. i live in Montgomery,AL,and that is still a difficult subject here.i would say is to do it stright from the books,it is such a ugly history that if you teach the facts then you are not teaching your opinion.that is a thin line still in Alabama.

firstly, be a role model . through storybooks, dramatic play, and ur learning centres, children will be able to share.
