Learn important rules that keep you safe at home and at school every day.

Safety rules are rules that help keep us from getting hurt. Following safety rules at home and school keeps you and everyone around you safe.

At home, there are many important safety rules. Never touch sharp things like knives or scissors without a grown-up's help. Stay away from the stove and oven because they are very hot. Never put small objects in your mouth because you could choke. Always tell a trusted adult if something feels wrong or scary.

At school, safety rules help everyone learn and play without getting hurt. Walk, do not run, in the hallways so you do not bump into others or fall. Use equipment like swings and slides the right way. Keep your hands and feet to yourself so nobody gets hurt. Listen to your teacher because they help keep you safe.

In an emergency, it is important to know what to do. If there is a fire, walk to the nearest exit and go to the meeting spot outside. If someone is hurt, tell a trusted adult right away. Remember, safety rules are there to protect you and the people you care about.
