1. A Choice Board has been provided for your group.

2. Choose 3 activities from the Choice Board.

3. Think about the age group you want to focus on (infants, early childhood, middle childhood, etc.)

4. Choose items within your Choice Board activities that relate to that age group.

5. As you follow your link(s), the instructions for the activity will be provided.

6. When you complete the choice board activities, share with your classmates why you chose the specific box(es) and how safety relates to the age group you focused on. 7. When you have completed your activities, be sure that each member in your group has their name on the assignment. It will be turned into your teacher upon completion

Part IV

1. On the front of a large index card make a list of “why” an unsafe environment impacts physical safety, the ability to explore, development of trust, or communicating with others.

2. On the back of your index card, identify “how” child safety changes as a child grows. Identify some specific concerns for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and middle age school children.

3. Share the information on the front & back of your index card with your class.

4. Take notes! Be sure to include any information you missed on your index card for your future reference.
