Inventory personal habits with respect to safety in community play areas. |
(d) |
Demonstrate healthy behaviours (e.g., taking turns, wearing a seatbelt, asking for help) that favour the safety of self and others. |
(e) |
Explore possible healthy risks (e.g., making new friends, trying new foods) and unhealthy risks (e.g., riding your bike without a helmet, playing in traffic areas, touching discarded needles, approaching stray animals). |
(f) |
Discuss how safety rules/guidelines are established to reduce risks. |
(g) |
Investigate ways to identify, assess, and reduce the risk of potentially dangerous and/or possible unsupervised situations in community "play areas". |

Examine the importance of "reporting" versus being a "tattle" when identifying safety concerns. |
(i) |
Share the importance of practising safe behaviours in community "play areas" (i.e., one's safety depends on the safety behaviours of others) and the possible consequences of using/not using safety knowledge and skills. |
