Grown-Ups Who Can Help

Practice each rule for real where you can: stop, look and listen at a curb, or stop, drop and roll on a soft floor. Talk through the not safe pictures calmly and ask what a child should do instead. Go over which grown-ups your own child can go to for help.

Six safety pages for Kindergarten and 1st grade, each with an answer key. Children decide whether pictures at home are safe or not safe, put the steps for crossing the street in order, learn what red, yellow and green mean on a traffic light, and find the grown-ups who can help. They also cut out three pictures to order stop, drop and roll, and match each activity to the safety gear it needs.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten health and safety, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with safety. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Hold a grown-up's hand and stop, look and listen before crossing a street, stay away from hot stoves and medicine, wear a helmet on a bike, and know which grown-ups can help if they are lost. These sheets practice many of them with pictures.

Say and act out the three steps together on a soft floor: stop where you are, drop to the ground and cover your face, and roll until the fire is out. The page has children cut out the three pictures and put them in order.

Most kindergarten health lessons cover washing hands and brushing teeth, covering coughs and sneezes, safety at home and on the street, getting enough sleep, staying active and making healthy food choices. These worksheets group them into five sets: hygiene and handwashing, safety, sleep, exercise and healthy habits at mealtime.

Show the steps in order: wet your hands, add soap, scrub the front, back and between your fingers, rinse and dry. Many families sing a short song while scrubbing so children keep going long enough. The handwashing steps cut and paste page lets children put the steps in order themselves, which helps them remember the routine at the sink.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends 10 to 13 hours in every 24 hours, naps included, for children ages 3 to 5, and 9 to 12 hours for ages 6 to 12. A steady bedtime routine helps most. The sleep pages have children put a bedtime routine in order, sort day and night activities and count the hours between a bedtime clock and a wake-up clock.

They cover healthy habits at mealtime: choosing water or milk, packing a healthy lunchbox, listening for hungry or full, mealtime manners and washing fruit. For food groups, healthy foods and fruits and vegetables, use the Kindergarten Food and Nutrition worksheets, which pair well with these pages.
