Staying close when we are out
🛑stop and stay🌟safe helper🗣️tell the helper🤗wait to be found
Out and about.
The big ideaStay close when we are out. If we cannot see them, stop and stay.

How it works

When we are out, we stay close to our grown-up.

If we cannot see them, we stop and stay where we are. Then they can find us.

A safe helper works in the shop and wears a bright badge. A grown-up with children is a safe helper too.

Example 2: Stop like a tree

  1. Kit turns round and cannot see his grown-up.
  2. He stops and stands as still as a tree, with his paws by his sides.
  3. Because he stays put, his grown-up can come and find him.
