-
Always Wear Your Helmet
When riding your bike, scooter, or skateboard, always wear your helmet to protect your head. Make sure it fits properly and the straps are fastened.

Stop, Look, and Listen Before Crossing
Before crossing any street, always stop at the edge, look both ways, and listen for cars. Only cross when it's clear or when the crossing signal says it's safe.
-
Know Your Address and Phone Number
Memorize your home address and a parent's phone number. This information is important if you ever need help or get separated from your family.
-
Never Talk to Strangers
Don't talk to people you don't know, especially if they offer you candy, ask for help, or want you to go somewhere with them. Always tell a trusted adult if a stranger approaches you.

Fire Safety: Stop, Drop, and Roll
If your clothes catch fire, don't run! Remember to stop, drop to the ground, cover your face, and roll back and forth until the fire is out.
-
Water Safety Rules
Never swim alone. Always have an adult watching you when you're in or near water. Don't run around pools, and learn how to swim as early as possible.
-
Keep Personal Information Private Online
Never share your full name, address, school, or photos with people you meet online. Always ask a parent before using websites or downloading apps.
