Suggestions

The 'What If' game can be applied to any situation that you may suspect is happening to a child. Use the game to give answers to difficult situations that they may not know how to get out of safely.

Examples.....
1. 'What If' someone knocks on the door and you are alone at home? What would you do?
a) Never open the door
b) Call a neighbour or relative if they won't go away
c) Call the police if you can't get any help and you are scared.

2. 'What If' a babysitter tries to touch your private parts.
a) Tell them NO then go and tell someone

Notes For Teachers Or Parents:
Explaining Strangers to children
If you ask a group of children what a Stranger is - you may get 20 different answers such as:

a) A stranger is a bad person
b) Someone that will hurt you
c) Someone that gives you sweets

Children have many misconceptions as to what "Strangers" are.
We teach our children:

"Don't talk to strangers"
"Don't get in a care with a stranger"
"Don't take sweets from a stranger"

But....we often forget to tell them what a stranger is.

So firstly we need to teach children What Is A Stranger ?
A Stranger is someone we don't know !
A Stranger can be
A Man or a Lady, someone old or young
Someone of any colour or social group

Not all strangers are bad people, and if someone that you love or trust introduces you to a stranger - that stranger can become a friend. BUT....unless someone you love and trust introduces you to a stranger you should never talk to them on your own.

Give children of some examples of what lies strangers may try and tell them for example:

a) Your Mom asked me to pick you up from school as she is running late

b) I have lost my puppy, please could you come and help me look for it
c) I want to show you something really exciting,
I promise I will bring you right back
d) Never accept gifts from a stranger, no matter how nice they are or how nice the gift is
