For my final lesson with first grade, I showed students a video about the importance of safety. This video touches on a number of different areas: what to do if someone gets too close, what to do if someone tries to grab you, and the different kinds of people we know.
The video starts out by talking about Don't Knows: people the students do not know at all. Anyone the student has never met is a Don't Know. The video discusses what to do if a Don't Know tries to ask them for help, rings the doorbell, or gets in their personal space. It also talks about how it is okay to yell and scream and be as loud as you can if someone is trying to grab you.
The video also talks about Kinda Knows: people that students kind of know through their extracurricular activities and family friends. It spoke about the importance of never going anywhere with a Kinda Know without asking a parent's permission. The video also encourages all students to ask their parents for three safe adults they can trust in case of emergency.
