Safety On The Playground

key notes:

Importance of Playground Safety

• Playgrounds are for fun, but safety rules ensure no one gets hurt.
• Everyone should follow rules to protect themselves and others.

General Safety Rules

• Always wait your turn on equipment like slides and swings.
• Walk, don’t run, to avoid slipping or bumping into others.
• Stay away from broken or damaged equipment.

Using Playground Equipment Safely

• Swings: Sit down while swinging; hold tightly with both hands. Never walk in front or behind a moving swing.

• Slides: Climb up the steps, not the slide; slide down feet first.

• Climbing Frames: Use both hands and climb carefully. Don’t push or pull others.

Look Out for Others

• Watch where you are going to avoid collisions.
• Help friends if they trip or fall.

Safe Behavior

• No pushing, shoving, or rough playing.
• Follow the teacher’s or adult supervisor’s instructions.

Dressing for Safety

• Wear proper shoes for running and climbing. Avoid long, loose clothing or dangling accessories that could get caught.

Awareness of Surroundings

• Check the ground for sharp objects like broken glass or stones.
• Stay in the designated playground area and avoid playing near roads or fences.

Handling Emergencies

• If someone gets hurt, tell an adult immediately.
• Stay calm and give space for help to arrive.
