Instructions

Before you begin
Cut out the personal safety situations and solutions. Each player needs one card (either a situation or a solution), so you may need to duplicate the cards.
Put all the situations in one bowl and put all the solutions in another bowl.
Talk about safety
The person leading the activity should help everyone talk about and understand what personal safety means. Players might like to suggest different ways to be safe.
Sort the scenarios
Each player should pick either a situation or a solution from the bowl.
If you have an odd number of players, some people could play as a pair, or someone could take two solutions.

People with a situation should try to find the person with a matching solution, and people with a solution should try and find the person with the matching situation.
Once everyone is in a pair (or a three, if you have an odd number of players), they should take it in turns to tell everyone their situation and solution and explain why they paired up.
The person leading the game should make it clear that’s important to talk to other people if you feel unsafe or worried, or if you have a problem you’re not sure how to deal with. Talking is a big part of personal safety.
Each pair should think of and share an example of someone they could talk to if they have a problem. It might be family members, teachers, volunteers, or a charity or helpline such as Childline.
The person leading the game should tell everyone about Childline. Childline lets anyone aged under 19 talk about anything that’s on their mind or bothering them – whether it feels like a little issue or a big one. It’s free, and you don’t need a specific reason to get in touch. You can call them, chat online, or send an email. Childline is confidential, which means they don’t tell anyone else what you’ve said (sometimes, if they’re worried about your safety, they may need to get you help). Their phone number is 0800 1111, or you can check out childline.org.uk.
