Today I am talking about safety. You need to be careful and safe all the time so as to avoid injuries or death. Please do the following to stay safe:-

  1. When you cross the road or street look both directions so you don’t get hit by a car or a bicycle.
  2. Don’t stay near or touch hot stoves because if you do that you will get burned.
  3. On my previous article I wrote that don’t play with fire. For example don’t play with match sticks. If your clothes catch fire, what you have to do is stop, drop and roll.
  4. You need to learn to swim so that you if you end up in water you don’t drown but swim. Always be with an adult when you are swimming. Do not dive in shallow pool water.
  5. Do not climb up on top of jungle gyms or else you will fall down!
  6. Do not talk to strangers because they might kidnap and kill you. When a stranger approaches you say no and ran to your parents or teachers.
  7. When you ride your bike always wear a bike helmet. If you do not wear a helmet you might crack your head when you fall down.
  8. You need to wear shoes when you go outside because you will get bugs and germs if you don’t wear them.
  9. Never ever open a window when there is lightning because you might get struck and die.
  10. Do not open the door when somebody rings the door bell because it might be a stranger, ask your parents or an adult to open the door.
  11. Never eat food from the floor because you will get sick from germs from the floor.
  12. Do not stay too close to a television because you might get blind.
  13. Do not be a litter bug because you need to keep the house and the whole environment clean and safe from litter.

Stay safe all watotos!
