Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to identify different people in their life and demonstrate simple protective strategies to help keep themselves healthy and safe.

Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Crayons or markers
• A safe space for role-playing
• Simple props for role-play (like hats or scarves)

Before the lesson, think about the important people in the child's life, such as family members, teachers, and friends. Prepare to discuss how each person helps keep them safe and healthy.

Activities

• Drawing People

  Have the student draw pictures of important people in their life, such as family members, friends, and teachers. After drawing, ask them to tell you about each person and how they help keep them safe.

• Role-Playing

  Set up a fun role-playing activity where the student can pretend to be different people, like a doctor or a parent. Use props to make it more engaging. Discuss how these people help keep them safe and healthy.

• Safety Simon Says

  Play a game of "Simon Says" using safety actions. For example, "Simon says wash your hands" or "Simon says wear a helmet." This helps reinforce protective strategies in a fun way.
