Today, we are going to explore Erin's Law, a very important topic that helps us understand about our bodies, our feelings, and how to keep ourselves safe.
Mystery Colors: Start by telling the class that you have a special message to share, but it’s in code! Introduce the colored paper:
Create a Message: Ask the students to think about different situations they encounter every day. They will brainstorm ideas about when they feel safe, cautious, or in danger.
Poster Creation: Have the students write or draw their ideas on the colored paper. For example, they might draw a green heart for “I feel safe at home” or a red stop sign for “I feel in danger when…”
De-brief: After everyone has created their posters, place all the colored papers in the box or envelope.
Share and Discuss: Invite students to pick one colored message from the box and share it with the class. Ask them to explain why they chose that color and what it means to them.
Now that we've shared our feelings and thoughts, it’s time to talk about Erin's Law. This law helps kids understand what kinds of situations can be safe or unsafe, very much like our color code.
Let's dive into learning more about Erin's Law and how it empowers us to take charge of our own safety, understand boundaries, and find support when we need it!
Through today’s lesson, we will learn how to recognize safe environments and who we can trust to help us. Your thoughts and feelings matter, and that's what makes us a strong community.
