Personal Safety Lesson-Safe and Unsafe Secrets

Personal Safety Lesson-Safe and Unsafe Secrets
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans

This resource is a personal safety lesson specifically about safe and unsafe secrets. This is such an important skill to learn as asking children to keep unsafe secrets is part of the grooming process from child molesters. This is a key lesson in preventing childhood abuse. In this lesson, you will have a 9-slide Google slide presentation. The flow of the lesson is self-explanatory and there are slide notes to guide you on what to have ready for the students, what to print off, and what handouts should also go home with students. The first part of the lesson is asking students what are words and actions that cause them to feel happy or sad. The next part is a lesson about red light and green light (unsafe and safe) secrets. There are 6 examples the teacher or counselor will read and students will hold up either the red or green light (these handouts are provided). The next step is reviewing safety steps with the students in case someone is asking them to keep an unsafe secret. Students are encouraged to role-play these steps. Lastly, students will draw 2 safe adults besides their parents. The safety steps and safe adult' drawings should go home with students to share with their parents or guardians. After the 9-slide presentation, there are 3 handouts to copy and print out for students in preparation for the lesson. Read the slide show thoroughly before teaching this lesson so you will understand the flow of the lesson and the different activities. Because this is a Google Slide resource, you will be downloading a PDF and clicking on the image on the PDF to access the slide presentation. Once you are prompted to "make a copy", click "yes" and make a copy. You will then have access to the product. Enjoy!
