Why We Have Rules
Rules keep us safe and keep things fair. Pick a fair rule for a problem.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 3
- Why do we have rules? Many rules keep us safe. 'Wear a helmet when you ride a bike' keeps your head safe.
- Other rules keep things fair. 'Take turns on the swing' lets everyone have a turn.
- When there's a problem, a good rule can fix it. If everyone wants the same ball, a fair rule is: take turns!
- When we follow the rules, everyone stays safe and is treated fairly.
- Try it with a grown-up! Pick a rule and talk about why it's there.
