What is the theory behind this Body Safety Worksheet for Preschoolers?
Teaching young kids about body safety is essential to keeping them safe from becoming victims of potential abuse. They can be taught about ‘safe’ and ‘unsafe’ touch and to always reach out to an adult whenever they feel unsafe around someone. These are the two basic body safety concepts that can be easily taught to preschoolers.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet can be used to help preschoolers learn about safe and unsafe touch which is a very important topic related to body safety. They can highlight the ‘no touch’ areas on the images in the worksheet to reinforce their learning about ‘private’ areas that should not be touched by anyone.
How to use the worksheet?
This worksheet can be used in awareness programs aimed at helping kids protect themselves from being victimised or abused. It can also be used in educational settings as part of the preschool curriculum. After a thorough discussion and role plays on the ‘safe’ and ‘unsafe’ touch, provide this worksheet to the kids and tell them to circle the ‘unsafe’ areas.
