Duplicate one or all three of the checklists, Being Safe on My Bicycle, Being Safe on My Skateboard, and Being Safe on My Skates, for students if you plan to have them use the checklists. Borrow the safety gear used in the lesson if you do not own it. Consider asking a colleague, parent, or student if you might use their gear for this lesson. You will need: Bicycle helmet Knee pads Elbow pads Wrist guards Gloves Review the teacher reference, Sample Family Letter Introducing the Personal Safety Lessons, and decide when to send it home with students. It should be sent one or two weeks before teaching the personal safety lessons, which are Lessons 4 and 5 in this unit. It will allow parents the opportunity to preview the materials if they desire. Modify the letter if you wish and duplicate it so that each student will have a copy to take home. For Teacher Input: Decide how you will divide your class into three groups. Duplicate enough of the student handouts, Safety on Bicycles, Safety on Skateboards, and Safety on Skates, so that each student will receive one of the three handouts. The students in each group will receive copies of the same handout. Decide whether or not to ask a guest to speak to the class about safety on wheeled recreation equipment, such as bicycles, skateboards, skates, and scooters, during Teacher Input. (Extension Activity) You might consider inviting one of these individuals: A local law enforcement officer Bicycle shop owner Skate shop owner For Application or Skill Practice: Duplicate the student worksheets, Safety on Wheels and I Will Be Safe on Wheels, for each student. Read the teacher key for the worksheet, Safety on Wheels. Prepare slides from the set of slide masters, Safety on Wheels. Decide whether or not to ask local police to conduct a wheeled recreation safety day for students to bring their bikes, skates, and skateboards to school for inspection and practice.

3 For Closure: Duplicate the family resource sheet, Safe Physical Activity on Wheels, for students to take home. Time-Saver Tip: Have students try on the safety gear as part of physical education class or on the playground, as long as you or another adult will be present to instruct them in how to wear it correctly. Another option for saving time is to review all of the correct answers for the rules listed on the slide master, Safety on Wheels, but ask for class sharing and discussion for only a few critical rules. Focus on the fact that many of the safety rules apply to bicycles, skateboards, and skates. Students will need information on all three types of wheeled equipment since they reviewed rules for only one type, but discussing each rule might lead to some repetition and require more time than you wish to spend on this part. LESSON PROCEDURE Introduction: Introduce this health unit. List wheeled recreation equipment that can be used for physical activity. Instructional Steps Introduce the safety unit. Ask students to name ways to get physical activity that involve wheels. List two ways to avoid injury. State the focus of the lesson. Script & Detailed Directions Today we re starting a series of lessons about safety. We ll talk about some good ways to keep yourself and others from getting hurt in certain activities. What are some ways you like to be physically active that involve wheels? Answers: Record the students ideas on the board. Make sure they include the following: bicycle skateboard skates scooter inline skates Now that you are in second grade, you may spend more time riding your bike, skateboarding, or skating. To stay safe during these activities, you need to: Follow the safety rules. Wear protective gear. Today, we will talk about how to stay safe while using wheeled equipment. Approximately 3 minutes Extensions & Suggestions If most of your students participated in Michigan Model safety lessons in first grade, parts of this lesson will be a review. Consider asking students what they remember from earlier lessons about safety rules for wheeled equipment. Copyright Safety Lesson 1 Page 15

4 Teacher Input: Identify safety rules for wheeled recreation. Approximately 14 minutes Instructional Steps Script & Detailed Directions Extensions & Suggestions Form three groups. Discuss safety rules for wheeled recreation equipment. Use the student handouts, Safety on Bicycles, Safety on Skateboards, and Safety on Skates. Discuss the benefits of following the safety rules. Ask what safety gear should be worn. Demonstrate how to wear the safety gear. Form small groups. Assign the group roles: leader, recorder, spokesperson, and materials handler. Each group will become the experts on safety rules for one type of wheeled recreation. Assign one group to be the expert group on bicycles, another on skateboards, and the third on skates. Ask the materials handlers to distribute copies of the appropriate student handout to their group members. In your group, read the safety rules shown on your handout and talk about why each rule is important and the benefits of following the rule. In five minutes, I will ask you some questions. Select a couple critical rules from each handout and call on spokespersons to share the benefits for following the rule. What protective gear will keep you safe when you are being physically active on wheels? Call on each group s spokesperson to name one piece of protective gear and the wheeled equipment they were assigned. Continue until all gear has been named. As each piece of gear is named, demonstrate how to wear it properly. You should demonstrate how to wear the bicycle helmet properly. Use three student volunteers to demonstrate how to wear: knee pads and elbow pads, wrist guards, and gloves. Display the closed-toe shoes and contrast them with the sandals. Invite a local law enforcement officer, bicycle shop owner, or skate shop owner to explain and demonstrate safety rules for wheeled recreation. Contact local vendors to see if they would offer a discount for students who need to get safety gear. Define the word hitch if you think your students will benefit. It is used on the student handouts. Hitch in this context means to hang onto something that is moving to get a ride. Tell your students to use protective gear to protect themselves from the sun whenever they play outside. Slip on a longsleeved shirt and pants. Slop on sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or higher. Young children may need adult help. Slap on a hat with a wide brim. With wheeled recreation equipment, they will be wearing a helmet instead. Sunglasses help to protect the eyes. Visit the American Cancer Society s or the Education Materials Center s website for sun safety information. Page 16 Lesson 1 2 Safety Copyright 2007

5 State the benefits of being physically active and the amount of physical activity recommended for children and teens. Having fun on wheels is a great way to be physically active. Being physically active helps you stay healthy in many ways. List a few of the benefits of being physically active. Select those you think will engage your students. Makes your lungs strong so you can breathe easier and more efficiently. Helps keep arteries and veins clear for blood to flow. Makes you flexible so you can bend and stretch without hurting yourself. Helps you relax and have a restful sleep. Helps to improve your ability at sports. Gives you more energy to keep going. Helps you feel good about yourself. Makes your heart strong. Makes your bones strong Helps control your weight. Helps prevent illness. Helps you to think. It s fun. Children and teens should be physically active for 60 minutes most days, preferably every day Application or Skill Practice: Review the wheeled recreation safety rules. Have students assess how well they follow the safety rules and wear protective gear. Have them identify two safety behaviors they will try to improve. Allow students to try on some protective gear. Instructional Steps Review safety rules for wheeled recreation equipment as a class using the slide set and student worksheet, Safety on Wheels. Script & Detailed Directions Have the materials handlers distribute copies of the student worksheet, Safety on Wheels, and pencils or pens to group members. Cover the Safety on Wheels slide and display it, one rule at a time. Ask each group to decide whether or not the rule applies to their wheeled recreation equipment. If the rule applies, the group s spokesperson should stand. Mark the slide to indicate which rules apply to each type of wheeled recreation equipment. Have the students mark their worksheets. Continue until all the rules have been assigned. If you have taught the Nutrition and Physical Activity unit in this manual, ask students to recall the benefits of being physically active and how many minutes young people should be physically active each day. Read Franklin s Bicycle Helmet to reinforce the content of this lesson. Obtain a leader s guide and a classroom set of the student workbooks, Basic Aid Training, by the American Red Cross. It covers basic first aid. Visit their website to get ordering information by searching for BAT. Approximately 15 minutes Extensions & Suggestions Encourage students to ride their bicycles to school if possible. If your school doesn t provide bicycle racks for student use, speak with administrators about installing racks and teaching students how to use them. Copyright Safety Lesson 1 Page 17

6 Summarize safety rules for wheeled recreation equipment. Distribute the student worksheet, I Will Be Safe on Wheels. Allow students to try on the safety gear for wheeled recreation. Notice how many of the rules apply to all three types of equipment: bikes, skateboards, and skates. Once you know the safety rules, you can stay safe no matter what wheels you re using. Now that you know how to stay safe when you are being physically active on wheels, it s time to make a commitment to use what you know. On this worksheet, circle the type of activity you like to do best, either bicycling, skateboarding, or skating. Then look through the list of rules we ve been talking about. For each one that applies to your favorite type of wheels, put a check in the column that best says how well you follow the rule. Allow a few minutes for students to check off the rules. Now put a star next to the two rules you will commit to following more often. Place the safety gear out for students to wear. When you have finished your worksheet, you may try on the safety gear. Do not try on the helmet so that we don t have a head lice problem. However, if you have a helmet at home, be sure to practice putting it on. If you have access to the CD Set, Bike Smart, encourage students to view the CDs as reinforcement of the lesson information. The CDs offer a review of rules and opportunities for students to check their understanding. The CDs are intended to be used by one student at a time. Ask the local police department to conduct a wheeled recreation safety day for students to bring their bikes, skates, and skateboards to school for inspection and practice. Work with your physical education teacher to conduct a wheeled recreation rally by setting up cones and other obstacles for students to ride around on bikes, skates, and skateboards. Have students draw a picture of themselves doing their favorite wheeled recreation activity safely and wearing all of the appropriate safety gear. Have students talk about their drawings and share their commitments to safety. Page 18 Lesson 1 2 Safety Copyright 2007

7 Closure: Share commitments to enjoy safe wheeled physical activity. Approximately 3 minutes Instructional Steps Script & Detailed Directions Extensions & Suggestions Share safety commitments with a neighbor. Distribute the family resource sheet, Safe Physical Activity on Wheels. Preview the next health lesson. Have students assess how well they are following the safety rules several days after teaching this lesson. Show your worksheet to your neighbor. Tell each other which two rules you will practice more often to stay safe and the benefits of following the rules. Be sure to tell your family about your promise, too. And share with them this important information about safety on wheels. In our next health lesson, we will learn how to stay safe while being physically active around water. Distribute the student self-assessment checklists, Being Safe on My Bicycle, Being Safe on My Skateboard, and Being Safe on My Skates, or select one or two you want to use. Ask students to think about the last time they rode their bicycles or skateboards, or went skating. Explain how to use the checklist to assess how well they are following the rules. Modify the teacher reference, Sample Family Letter Introducing the Personal Safety Lessons, if you wish and send it home one or two weeks prior to teaching Lessons 4 and 5 in this unit. Use the checklists provided at the end of the lesson if you want to assess students skill development. You may need to help students by reading the questions on the checklist aloud. Collect the checklists and/or encourage students to take them home to share with families. Copyright Safety Lesson 1 Page 19

How will following these two rules keep you safer? You can have fun, be active, and stay safe! I Will Be Safe on Wheels

17 Safe Physical Activity on Wheels Physical activity is one of the most important health habits anyone can have. It keeps the heart strong and extra weight off. Plus, it s a lot of fun and can be a family activity! Your child needs to get 60 minutes of activity every day. Adults need 30 minutes each day. Some of the most popular forms of physical activity involve wheels. In class today, we talked about how to stay safe while bicycling, skateboarding, and skating. Here are some of the basic safety rules we discussed. Always wear safety gear, especially a helmet. For skating and skateboarding, also wear elbow and knee pads, gloves, and wrist guards. Check your equipment for wear and tear. Do not hitch rides on bicycles, cars, or other moving things. The safest place to ride is on the sidewalk. Look out for bumps or other surface problems where you ride. Obey all traffic signs and rules. Get off bicycles and skateboards to cross streets safely. Ride in single file. Keep space between riders. Encourage your child to have fun and be as safe as possible by following the rules for wheels. Staying Safe Around Traffic Teach your child these traffic and road rules. Stop before crossing a street or riding into traffic. Look left, right, and left again to check for cars. If the road is clear, enter or cross. If you must ride a bike in the street, ride on the far right side of the road, in the same direction as traffic. Ride so that car drivers can see you, and wear brightly colored clothes. Never assume that the driver of a car sees you. Obey all traffic signals and stop signs. Look behind you and yield to traffic coming from behind before turning left. Ride on the right side of sidewalks and paths. Pass other people on the left and warn them that you are passing. Avoid using bicycles, skateboards, or skates during non-daylight hours or bad weather. If your child must ride a bicycle at night, make sure it has a headlight, flashing taillight, and reflectors. STOP YIELD STOP Copyright Safety Lesson 1 Page 29

18 Choosing and Fitting a Helmet Of course, your child needs some help to follow these rules. For example, he or she relies on you to buy safe equipment and to make sure it gets repaired when needed. Help your child learn how to check bicycles, skateboards, skates, and safety gear often to make sure they are in good condition. Research shows that helmets save lives. Choose the type of helmet recommended for a specific activity to best prevent head injuries. For example, for bicycling, buy a helmet that has been approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). A salesperson at your local bicycle or skate shop can help you choose the right helmet for your child. Take your child with you to shop for a helmet. He or she will be more likely to wear a helmet all the time if encouraged to pick the color or design. Select a helmet that fits your child s head now. When he or she outgrows a helmet, or if a helmet gets damaged, buy a new one. Make sure the helmet fits properly. A salesperson can help you make adjustments. The helmet should fit comfortably, yet snugly, so that it doesn t move in any direction. The front edge of the helmet should be two finger widths above the eyebrows, not tilted back or pulled too low in front. The front and back straps of the helmet should form a V just below the ear. The chinstrap should be snug when your child opens his or her mouth. One finger should fit between the chin and the chin strap when the mouth is closed. Your child should always wear a securely fastened helmet when bicycling, skateboarding, or skating. Learning More About Safety For more safety information about bicycling, skateboarding, and skating, as well as other types of physical activity, check out the Healthy Living fact sheets available from the National Safety Council at For a free guide on helmet selection and use, search for Which Helmet for Which Activity? on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website, How Well Is Your Child Following the Safety Rules? Visit the Family Corner on the Educational Materials Center website at You will find checklists you can use to assess how well your child is following the safety rules when on wheels. Falling Safely: Crouch, Roll, Relax Teach your child how to fall safely. When losing your balance, crouch down on the skateboard or over the skates so your fall is short. Try to land on fleshy parts of your body when falling. Try to roll as you fall, which prevents your arms from absorbing all the force. Try to relax, rather than remaining stiff when falling.

19 Teacher Reference [ON SCHOOL LETTERHEAD] [DATE] Dear Parent: Sample Family Letter Introducing the Personal Safety Lessons Our school is using a health program called the Michigan Model for Health. It gives families and schools opportunities to work as a team to help youth stay healthy. The program includes two lessons on personal safety. The lessons teach students how to protect themselves from inappropriate touch. Sadly, sexual abuse of children takes place more often than we think. We need to work together to stop this problem. Children need to know the possible dangers and the rules for staying as safe as possible. The lessons in the Michigan Model present material on the children s level. The skills are taught in a safe and simple way. Through these lessons, students will learn: How to judge between safe and unsafe touch How to protect themselves Who to go to for help We will be teaching the personal safety lessons in the next few weeks. If you wish to look over the materials used in these lessons, please contact the school at [phone number]. Sincerely, [Principal s Name] Copyright Safety Lesson 1 Page 31
