Rules For Safe Playing On The Playground

-Take turns on the equipment.

-Tell a grown-up if the playground equipment doesn't look safe.

-Play gently-pushing and rough housing on equipment can lead to falls.

-When getting off the seesaw, work with your seesaw partner to get off about the same time-when the seesaw is flat and in the middle noboby will crash. Don't get off when you are at the bottom and your partner is up in the air.

-Always swing sitting down, with one person on the swing at a time. Walk far away from a swing with someone on it. Allow yourself lots of room-remember the person swinging might jump off.

-Wait your turn on the slide until the person in front of you has slid all the way down to the bottom and gotten off. Slide sitting down, feet first.
