nKnow whom you should ride with.

n

nNever take shortcuts on the way home.

nAvoid vacant lots, alleyways, and construction sites.

nNever play in empty or deserted buildings.

n

nWhat if a stranger offered you candy? Tell a trusted adult right away.

n

nNever go with someone who doesn’t know your family’s secret word.

n

nNever let anyone know you are home alone.

n

n

n

n

nAll these bits of advice come from Safety Pup, and the National Child Safety Council.

n

nThere are tons of Safety Pup materials available here, and Safety Pup has been advising kids on safety on milk cartons, in school and community visits, and with coloring books and handouts. Basically, the materials should be available from your local police or sheriff.

n

nHere are a few web-based activities for kids.
