Does a stranger have to look like a "bad" person?
No. Remember, a stranger is someone you don't know. There can be "good" and "bad" strangers. A police officer is still a stranger if we don't know him/her. Unfortunately, we don't know if a person is good or bad just by looking at him/her.

If someone you don't know says, "I know your mom. She said for me to take you in my car." What should you do?
Say/yell, "No!" and run away from the car.

Should you go outside without asking your parents? Why or why not?

What should you do if your house is on fire?
You need to get out of the house as quickly as possible. Meet your family outside and use a cell phone or a neighbor's phone to call the fire department.

What is a lifeguard and why do you need one?
A lifeguard is a man or woman trained in saving people from drowning, or getting injured in the water. Lifeguards are important because they know how to spot someone in trouble, and how to save their life.
300
Should you ever hide from your parents in a store? Why or why not?
No. If you are hiding and they can't find you, they may walk off to go look for you. When you decide to come out of hiding, they may not be there and then you would really be lost.
400
If an adult you don't know says, "Will you help me find my puppy? Come with me, the puppy can't be far." What should you do?
Say/yell, "No!" and run to find a safe place/adult. Remember, if we don't know this person it could be a trick (maybe they don't even have a puppy!). If an adult needs help, they should ask another adult for help, not a kid.
400
Should you get into a swimming pool without a grownup with you?
No. Even if you are a great swimmer, accidents happen. You always need one other person with you to be safe and that person should be an adult.

What should you do if your clothes are on fire?
Stop, drop and roll.

Name 3 ways to stay safe in the water.
Always swim with a buddy! Make sure there is a lifeguard or adult supervising. Take swimming lessons so you know how to stay safe! Never swim if it is thundering, raining, or if you see lightning. Always know how deep the water is. No diving in shallow water. Always look before you jump in. Use sunscreen! Stay in water shallow enough to be safe. Use life jackets and floatation devices. If someone is in trouble, get help and throw them a floatation device, never jump in to save another person. Other ideas?

A police officer Someone who works at the store, park or place you are visiting (usually these people will be in a uniform)
