BASICS: A Lesson on Personal Safety

Of course Julie Cook continues to be my go to Author for teaching my Guidance Lessons. When I needed a quick safety lesson for my K-2 students, I was so happy to have discovered The Bubble Wrap Queen. I love how the book doesn't talk about he scary scenarios that most personal safety books do. It makes it fun and interesting and very easy for kids to remember safety rules. Since I always like to include some kind of activity at the end of my lessons, I created this to tie it all in. Hopefully you will find this helpful as well.
