  • Pass out copies of the skill sheet and discuss each safety pledge with kids. Have them check off the box as they make each promise!
  • Then have them complete the sentence with one fact they learned from the issue. They can also color their certificates. 
  • Have kids bring the certificates home to families and share their expertise! It’s an important topic to discuss, and kids will be proud to lead the conversation!
