How to keep surroundings clean (simple daily habits):
Who can help: Children, parents, teachers and neighbors all work together. Schools can teach good habits and have bins and cleaning times. Communities can organize cleaning days.
Safety tips: Do not touch broken glass, chemicals or sick animals. Ask an adult to handle dangerous items. Use a broom, dustpan or gloves when cleaning with an adult's help.
Simple routine for children: Put rubbish in bin → Wash hands → Keep toys and books tidy → Help water a plant. Doing these each day builds a good habit and keeps surroundings clean.
Key Point: Good Habit = Practice × Repetition (do it every day to make it a habit)

Safety at Home means keeping yourself and others safe from harm while you live and play at home. Homes have many useful things, but some can be dangerous if we do not use them carefully.
Common dangers: sharp objects (knives, scissors), hot things (stove, kettle), medicines and chemicals, electric sockets and wires, slippery floors, small objects that a child can swallow, open balconies and windows, and matches or lighters.
Simple safety steps every child can follow:
What to do if someone gets hurt: tell an adult right away. For small cuts, wash with clean water and press gently to stop bleeding. For burns, cool the area with running water and tell an adult. Do not move someone who may have a broken bone; wait for help.
Practice safety: adults can make the home safer by using safety covers on sockets, keeping medicines locked, using guards on windows, and keeping a first-aid box handy. Children can practice by following rules, remembering safety songs or rhymes, and playing in safe areas.
Key Point: Stop + Look + Listen = Safe Road Crossing
What is safety at school and playground? Safety at school and playground means doing things that keep you and your friends safe and healthy while you learn and play. It includes rules to follow, things teachers and schools do to prevent accidents, and what to do if someone gets hurt.
Important safety rules:
How schools help: Teachers and staff watch the playground, teach rules, check equipment for damage, have first-aid kits, and practise safety drills so children know what to do in an emergency.
What to do if you see something unsafe: Tell a teacher or responsible adult, move away from the danger, and help your friend stay safe.
Key Point: Stop + Look + Listen = Safe to Cross (Stop at the edge, Look left and right, Listen for vehicles)

Note for parents and teachers: Teach children these rules with supervised practice (visits to a pool with a lifeguard, demonstrations of turning taps off). Reinforce by praise and reminders.
Key Point: No + Go + Yell + Tell = Safety (Say ‘No’, Go away, Yell for help, Tell a trusted adult).
Stranger Safety means knowing who a stranger is and how to keep yourself safe. A stranger is someone you do not know well. Kids should follow simple rules to stay safe.
Easy rules to remember:
There are some safe strangers (for example, police officers, teachers, or store helpers) who can help — but it is best to first try to find a parent or another trusted adult you know. Practice these rules at home so you remember them when you need them.
Key Point: Fire triangle: Fuel + Heat + Air = Fire. (Remove any one part and the fire will stop.)
What is fire? Fire is heat, light and flames. It can keep us warm and help cook food, but it is dangerous if not used carefully.
Why is fire dangerous? Fire can burn people, clothes and houses. Smoke from fire can make it hard to breathe.
Simple safety rules for children (Class 1):
How grown-ups can prevent fires: Keep a close eye on cooking, switch off electrical items when not in use, keep flammable things (cloth, paper) away from stoves and heaters, and store matches and lighters out of children’s reach.
Remember: Be calm, tell an adult, get out quickly, and stay together at the safe meeting place.
Key Point: Ask + Wait = Permission to Pet (Ask the owner, then wait for 'Yes')
Animals and pets are our friends, but we must be careful and kind when we meet them. Animal and pet safety means knowing how to behave so both you and the animal stay happy and safe. Always ask an adult or the pet's owner before touching any animal. Move slowly, use a soft voice, and let the animal see and smell your hand first. Do not tease, chase, or wake a sleeping animal. Wash your hands with soap and water after touching pets.
Important safety steps:
Being kind and careful helps pets feel safe and helps you avoid accidents. Pets also need food, water, rest, and love — learning safe habits shows you are a responsible friend to animals.
Key Point: See, Tell, Help — See the problem, Tell an adult, Get Help.
What is First Aid? First aid is the simple and quick help we give a person who is hurt or suddenly becomes sick until a grown-up or doctor arrives. It keeps the person safe and can make them feel better.
Basic rules to remember:
Easy steps for common small problems:
When to call emergency help (or 112 in India): If the person cannot wake up, has trouble breathing, has heavy bleeding that doesn’t stop, has a big burn, or has a broken bone that sticks out through the skin.
Who to tell: Always inform a nearby adult first: parent, teacher, neighbour, or call emergency services if needed.
Key Point: Sleep hours + Awake hours = 24 hours (for example, 10 hours sleep + 14 hours awake = 24 hours).
Sleep
Good sleep is important for a child’s growth, energy and learning. Children in Class 1 should have a regular bedtime and wake-up time. A calm routine before bed—such as finishing homework, brushing teeth, putting on night clothes, listening to a short story, and turning off bright lights—helps the child fall asleep easily. The sleep place should be clean, slightly dark, quiet and comfortable.
Clothing
Wearing clean, comfortable and weather-appropriate clothes is part of daily routine and safety. Choose light, breathable clothes in summer and warm layers (sweater, jacket, hat) in winter. Wear a raincoat and rubber boots when it is raining. School clothes should be tidy: shirts tucked in, buttons fastened, shoes tied. Clothes should not be too tight or too loose for safety and comfort.
Good habits to teach
Safety tips
Avoid long scarves or loose strings that can get caught. Make sure buttons and zippers work well. Use layers in cold weather so a child can add or remove clothes as needed.
