Sample Activities:

 

·        SAFE AND UNSAFE TOUCHES - Begin this lesson with a review of the ways children take care of their bodies (e.g., food, rest, exercise). Ask students: “Who owns your arms and legs? your body?” (Students should answer “We do.”) Explain that everyone has the right to say no if someone touches them in a way that makes them feel hurt, uncomfortable, afraid, or confused. Define safe and write SAFE and UNSAFE on the board. Brainstorm activities for each column similar to the example below.
 

 

Reassure students that there are a few times when things may hurt that are good for you (e.g., dental care, getting an immunization). After discussion, students create a poster or collage that illustrates the theme “Safe Touches.”
