Lesson Plan

Topic: Recognizing Signs and Signals for Safety

Standard: NHES 5: Interpersonal Communication

Grade: 2/3

Teaching Strategy:

*Introduction- How do we know if something is dangerous if there is no adult around? Is there something that might help tell us what to do?

*Brainstorm a list of safety signs and signals (as a class)

*Each student will make a safety sign

*Ideally, the constructed signs would be used in a follow up activity to assess a student’s comprehension of the sign’s meaning (such as a more complicated version of red light green light)

Assessment:

*Students can name and identify safety signals and signs

*Students can accurately (for ability level) make a safety signal/sign

*Students respond to symbols appropriately (activity)
