Description

Chat about safety code
The person leading the game should introduce one (or more) safety code/s. They could choose the water safety code, bathing code, or the firework code.
We’ve included some information to help with this.

Instructions

Everyone should get into pairs. The person leading the game should give each pair a safety code, and the pair should talk about how they’d behave around water, when bathing, or around fireworks. They should think about what sorts of things the code includes – how does it help people to keep safe?
Design your own code
Each pair should join with another pair, so everyone’s in a group of four.
Each group should work together to make a new code for another place or scenario. They could choose playgroups, camps, meeting places, car passengers, or train passengers – or any other (sensible!) option.
If anyone gets stuck, a helpful place to start might be to think about things we already to do keep safe, such as picking up litter, keeping fire exits clear, and wearing seatbelts.
Once each group has thought about their ideas, they should create a colourful poster to help everyone stay safe.
Once everyone has finished, groups should take it in turns to show everyone their poster and explain their new code.
