Today, we’re going to learn about something very important—how to keep ourselves safe and say “no” when we need to. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Guess what? Your body belongs to you! If someone tries to touch you and you don’t like it, you can say “no!” Just like when someone asks to borrow your crayons, you can say “yes” or “no.” It’s your choice!
We wear underpants to cover our private parts. These are special areas that are just for you. If someone tries to see or touch them, say “no” and tell a grown-up you trust. Remember, your body is your own!
When you’re at home, it’s important not to open the door to strangers. If someone knocks and you don’t know them, wait for your mom or dad to come back. It’s okay to say “no” to strangers.
If a stranger asks you to go somewhere with them, like to a candy shop or a parade, it’s important to say “no” and stay where you are. Always stay with people you know and trust.
When playing, make sure to use toys that are safe. Tools and plastic bags are not toys and can be dangerous. Let’s keep our playtime fun and safe!
If you ever feel scared, like someone is following you, find a safe place and tell a grown-up. You’re brave and smart, and you know how to keep yourself safe!
After using the restroom, remember to wash your hands. It’s a good habit to keep germs away and stay healthy!
If there’s an emergency, like an earthquake, remember to stay calm. Cover your head and wait for help. If it’s dark, use the stairs, not the elevator. Your mom or dad will be there soon to help you.
When you’re in a crowded place, hold your mom or dad’s hand. This way, you won’t get lost, and you’ll stay safe!
Remember, it’s important to have fun but also to stay safe. You can be a superhero by knowing when to say “no” and by keeping yourself and others safe. Great job, everyone!
Role-Playing Safety Scenarios: Gather in a circle and take turns acting out different safety scenarios. For example, one child can pretend to be a stranger asking for help, and another can practice saying “no” and finding a trusted adult. This helps you practice what to do in real-life situations.
Create a Safety Poster: Use crayons and paper to draw a poster about safety rules. Include pictures of safe actions, like washing hands or saying “no” to strangers. Hang your poster at home to remind everyone about staying safe.
Safety Treasure Hunt: With a grown-up, go on a treasure hunt around your home to find safe and unsafe items. Look for things like toys (safe) and plastic bags (unsafe). Talk about why some items are safe to play with and others are not.
