C. Abstraction
“Earlier, we unscrambled words about safety and played
the Pass the Cabbage game. From those activities, we
learned three important concepts: Safety Awareness,
Safe Behaviors, and Self-Management Skills. Let’s
now think about what these mean in real life and why
they are important.”
Safety Awareness
This means noticing possible dangers around us and
knowing how to avoid accidents.
Examples:
Checking for slippery areas before walking near a
pool.
Looking both ways before crossing the street.
Observing if someone is swimming alone in deep
water.
Noticing traffic signals and road signs before
crossing.
Being aware of strong currents or waves in open
water.
“Why is it important to notice dangers before they
happen?”
“Very good! It could prevent accidents”
“It helps prevent
Safe Behaviors accidents.”
These are actions we take to protect ourselves and
others.
Examples:
Walking instead of running on a wet pool deck.
Wearing a life jacket when boating or swimming in
deep water.
Waiting for your turn in line for a pool slide.
Using pedestrian lanes to cross the street.
Following pool rules, such as no roughhousing or
pushing.
“How can following safe behaviors prevent accidents?”
“Good job! We can protect ourselves and other people
around us”
Self-Management Skills
These are the decisions and actions we take to stay
safe. “We can protect
ourselves and others.”
Examples:
Asking an adult for help when unsure about
swimming conditions.
Stopping to think before crossing the street when
traffic is heavy.
Choosing to wear protective gear (helmet, life
jacket, reflective vest) even if others don’t.
Controlling emotions to avoid fighting or pushing
in water activities.
Planning safe routes when going to school or the
pool.
“What could happen if someone doesn’t use self-
management skills?”
Very good! That is why we need to have self-
management skills to prevent someone from getting
hurt.
"We learned that safety awareness, safe behaviors,
and self-management skills help prevent accidents
on roads and in water. Being aware of dangers, acting “Someone might get
responsibly, and making smart choices keep us and hurt or someone else
others safe. Now, we will apply these by doing role-plays could get hurt.”
to show how to act safely in different situations."
D. Application The students will go to
“Now that we understand safety awareness, safe their groups and start
behaviors, and self-management skills, we will practice planning and doing the
them in real-life situations through role-plays.” role play activity.
Instruction:
Each group has 3–5 minutes to prepare a short
role-play (1–2 minutes).
Groups can create their own scenario involving
road or water safety (e.g., crossing streets,
swimming, boating, poolside behavior).
The role-play should show unsafe behavior
first, then demonstrate how to act safely using
safety awareness, safe behaviors, and self-
management skills.
Groups perform in front of the class, and
classmates observe.
