Question

last week your friend was hurt when a basketball hit him/her.Discuss with your partner what safety rules should be followed in the school playground.How can this be implemented.

Answer 1

1. Always TAKE A FRIEND when walking or riding your bike to and from school.  It’s safer and more fun to be with your friends. Walk and ride in well-lit areas, and never take short cuts.  Follow all the bicycle rules, especially the one about riding on the right side of the street.2. Stay with a group while waiting at the bus stop.  If anyone bothers you while going to or from school, get away from that person, and TELL a trusted adult like your parents or teacher.  If an adult approaches you for help or directions, remember grownups needing help should not ask children for help; they should ask other adults.3. If someone you don’t know or feel comfortable with offers you a ride, say NO. Never hitchhike, and only accept a ride from someone if your parents have told you it is okay.4. If someone follows you on foot, get away from him or her as quickly as you can. If someone follows you in a car, turn around and go in the other direction. Always be sure to TELL your parents or a trusted adult what happened.5. If someone tries to take you somewhere, quickly get away and yell, “This person is trying to take me away!” or “This person is not my father (mother)!”6. Never leave school with someone you don’t feel comfortable with or know. Always CHECK FIRST with your parents or another trusted adult. If someone you don’t know or feel comfortable with tells you that there is an emergency and they want you to go with them, always CHECK FIRST before you do anything. Make sure you TELL a trusted adult if you notice someone you don’t know hanging around.7. Leave items and clothing with your name on them at home. If someone you don’t know calls out your name, don’t be fooled or confused.
