This safety lesson plan outlines how to teach children about preventing common injuries like bicycle accidents, burns, drowning, falls, and choking. It notes that injuries disproportionately impact young children, with over half of deaths in children ages 1 to 14 being injury-related. Younger children are especially at risk due to limited coordination and cognitive abilities. The plan proposes teaching children safety skills like listening, patience, self-awareness, and asking for help. Two example lesson plans are provided: one on recognizing emergency situations and responding appropriately, and another turning fire safety steps into a sequencing game.

The Importance of Safety ● PREVENTION ● DECREASING INJURIES ● IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING EARLY ● Some preventable injuries a child can avoid are: Bicycle accidents, burns, drowning, falls, and choking. ● According to the National Center for Health Statistics showed that injuries immensely strike the young, showing 44% of deaths to child from 1 to 4 years old were injury related. Percentage of deaths attributed to injuries for 5 to 14 years old children was 52%. The Importance of Safety (continued) ● INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN ARE AT A GREATER RISK ● EXPLORATION ● Some children may get injured because of limited physical coordination and cognitive abilities, which puts them at a greater risk for falls from bicycles and playground equipment. ● Due to developing bones and muscles, children and infants may be more susceptible to injury in car crashes if they are not properly restrained. The importance of Safety (continued) ● SAFETY LESSONS ● OVERESTIMATING
Teaching children on safety can prepare them and gain useful
safety skills such as: listening skills, patience, self-awareness, responsiveness skills, alertness, and ask for help. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS LESSON PLAN ● For one of my lesson plans, I did a lesson plan on recognizing emergency situations and explain appropriate responses. ● I chose grade 3 and estimated the duration of lesson should be 40 minutes ● My objectives where that students will: Understand importance of keeping calm, learning how to protect self, learn simple assistance procedures, and learn how to call for help. ● This lesson plan would be done in the classroom as students learn about emergency preparedness in the classroom, following directions/ instructions from the teacher. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS LESSON PLAN ● The Big IDEA for alignment was how can I recognize an emergency situation and what should I do to protect myself? ● The way I wanted to answer the big idea was to have discussions on what emergencies are, how they can affect us, how they can affect the things around us, such as buildings, walls, windows, and other items around the room. Which leads me to allow children to recognize emergency situations that can happen inside or near the classroom. ● I chose to do a formative assessment, allowing feedback and observing every child to make sure that they entirely comprehend the lesson and the concept behind it. ● Fire Safety Sequence Game! ● For the game I chose to relate to safety is the Fire safety sequence game this game should take about 30 minutes depending on how many children are playing. ● This games objective is to identify the steps in a decision-making process. ● Students will be using pictures and words ● Students will play this game in the classroom Fire Safety Sequence Game! ● They will be assessed by which student can match up the words and pictures and place each picture alongside the word in the correct order. ● The Big Idea was to allow children to identify fire-safety steps to prepare them for when a real fire emergency occurs at school or at home. ● The main concepts of this game are: ● Proper fire safety steps can prevent a child from being burned ● Healthy choices are made through the thinking and decision-making process. ● For competencies, recognizing good choices and actions (safe practices) in school, community and physical activity settings. Fire Safety Sequence Game! I would be evaluating students through a summative assessment, pair up groups assigned by the teacher to communicate and think about the steps without any help from the teacher or assistant. I will be assessing children by how well they do on the steps and see if the visualization is corrected with the words!
