Helping Hand
Knowing who to turn to when help is needed will make the process easier. If telling an adult will help someone — right away or in the long run — then it’s the right thing to do!
Age Groups: Big Kids, Little Kids
Skills: Helping, Upstanding
Let’s think of five grown-ups who you can go to for help with big problems and make a “Helping Hand” with their names.
Remember: your grown-ups love you and can help you and other kids solve problems if you need help. Your trusted adults can be teachers, family members — like parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents — or close friends of your family.
Tell me who your five helpers are. We can work together to draw a hand and write the names of your five helpers on each finger. We created a helping hand!
Now, if you see something that’s wrong, if you ever feel unsafe, or if there’s a big problem that you can’t solve on your own, you know who you can ask for help.
Upstanding - to stand up for what’s right
Tattle - to tell secrets without trying to be helpful
Help - aid or assistance
