Staying safe (home, school & online)

Grade 4 · Health & Wellness · Free lesson

Hi there! I am Studyfin, your learning buddy. Today, we will learn how to keep our bodies and minds safe in different places!

First, let us look at where we play. Safe play environments are clean, open, and free of danger. A park with soft grass is safe, while a busy street or a dark construction site is not.

Some common household objects can be very dangerous if we do not use them correctly. Tools like knives, sharp scissors, and screwdrivers have pointed edges. They can easily cut your skin or poke you if you play with them.

! Sharp tools can cut or hurt us!

The digital world is another place where we must stay safe. If someone online makes you feel bullied, uncomfortable, or unsafe, do not keep it a secret. You should immediately tell a trusted adult, like a parent or a teacher.

Go away! You can't play. I will tell my teacher and stay safe!
✏️ Worked example

Imagine you are playing an online spelling game. Another player starts sending you mean messages that make you feel sad and scared. Let us walk through how to handle this situation step-by-step.

  1. First, recognize your feelings. If the messages make you feel bad, uncomfortable, or unsafe, that is a sign of online bullying.
  2. Second, do not reply to the mean messages. Answering back can make the bully continue.
  3. Third, stop playing the game or close the screen right away.
  4. Fourth, go find a trusted adult, like your parent, guardian, or teacher.
  5. Fifth, explain exactly what happened to the adult so they can help you block the player and keep you safe.
