Note to Adults: |
||
| The activities in this big idea are designed to equip your Tiger Cub to deal
with an emergency when there is no adult present. There are activities that
will help him help others.
In the expanding world of a first-grade boy, there are times that he is not under the immediate protection of a parent or other trusted adult. His knowledge of emergency procedures will strengthen his self-esteem and self-confidence. Emergencies are not limited to natural disasters. Relationships with other persons can create emergency situations. In this big idea, you can discuss with your Tiger Cub how to react to strangers and persons whose motives are either not known or are unacceptable. |
