Kids Safety Games

Teaching children about safety may present a dilemma for parents and guardians because it can be difficult to convey the seriousness of safety topics to children without scaring them. On the other hand, it can be hard to tell if children are truly listening and absorbing the message. Games and role playing can be an approachable and even enjoyable way to engage kids and get them to actively participate in safety learning.
