Kids Games: Make a game of a home safety check. |
It is summertime. Some kids will be alone at home during the summer. We want it to be a safe home for you and your brothers and sisters. How does your family rate for safety? Help your family stay safe by taking the following test designed by the National SAFE KIDS Campaign. Although this list does not list every danger around the home, it will help your family start on safety. If your mom and dad don't live in the same house, do a safety check for each house. You can also do a safety check for your grandparents' homes and any other homes where you spend a lot of time, like a caregiver. Start by answering the questions. If you do not know the answer to one of the questions, ask your parents. |

Scoring: Now go back and give your family 10 points for each "yes" answer. Give your family 0 points for each "no" answer. Give your family 5 points for each "sometimes" answer. Add the scores and put your total in the yellow blank above.
