Safety at home - Activity booklets for young learners

Safety tips are always important when our young students are growing up and maybe they begin to stay home alone for hours. Why not introducing fun activies in English to help them understand all those safety measures when there is a fire, a water leak or a blackout? Here are some recommendations:

1) Sesame Street - Join Grover and Elmo to learn how families get ready for emergencies (pdf information booklet with drawings).
2) Safety begins at home - Fun activity book for the classroom.
3) Fire and Safety - Activity Book with fun exercises to raise awareness on how to behave during a fire.
4) Safe Kids Week - Tips by Johnson & Johnson on how to prevent kid injuries when we are on holidays.

Role-playing cards: Living in a Community

The aim of this UNICEF booklet is to broaden the scope of discussion about rights into the
citizenship domain. This Unit helps young people (aged 16 or more) to consider their own and others’ behaviour and their relationship with their communities. The activies discussed include vocabulary cards on nationalities and role-playing cards to broaden tolerance and social values on kids. The booklet also contains lesson plans for teachers.
