Earthquake Safety Tips

Hey there! Let’s learn about what to do if the ground starts to shake. That’s called an earthquake! Don’t worry, it’s important to stay calm and remember these tips.

What to Do During an Earthquake

If you feel the ground shaking, find a safe place to hide. You can hide under a table to protect yourself from things that might fall. Make sure to cover your head and crouch down low. Hold on tight to something sturdy until the shaking stops.

After the Earthquake

Once the shaking stops, it’s time to find a safe way out. If you’re at school, listen to your teacher and follow their instructions. If you’re at home, stay calm and find your emergency backpack. It might have things like water, snacks, and a blanket to keep you warm.

Stranger Safety

Let’s talk about staying safe around strangers. If someone you don’t know knocks on the door, don’t open it! Always check with a grown-up first. Remember, it’s important to stay safe and never open the door for someone you don’t know.

Shopping and Staying Safe

Going shopping can be fun! But it’s important to stay close to your family. If you ever get lost, stay calm and find a security guard to help you. Remember your parents’ phone numbers so you can tell the guard.

Crossing the Street Safely

When you cross the street, always look at the traffic light. Wait for the green light before you go, and make sure to look both ways for cars. Never cross on a red light because that’s not safe!

Fire Safety

If there’s ever a fire, stay calm and find a safe way out. If you’re outside and see a fire, make sure to tell a grown-up right away. They can help keep everyone safe.

Remember, staying calm and knowing what to do can help keep you safe in any situation. You’re doing a great job learning all these important safety tips!

Lesson Activities

  1. Earthquake Safety Drill: Let’s practice what to do during an earthquake! Pretend the ground is shaking and find a safe spot in the room, like under a table. Remember to cover your head and hold on tight. Once the “shaking” stops, talk about how you felt and what you did to stay safe. This will help you remember what to do if a real earthquake happens.

  2. Emergency Backpack Exploration: Create your own emergency backpack at home. With the help of a grown-up, find items that would be useful in an emergency, like a flashlight, snacks, and a small blanket. Bring your backpack to class and share with your friends what you packed and why each item is important.

  3. Safety Role Play: In pairs, take turns pretending to be a stranger knocking on the door. Practice what you would do if someone you don’t know comes to your door. Remember to always check with a grown-up before opening the door. Discuss why it’s important to stay safe and how you can recognize a safe person to talk to if you need help.
