Engaging Lesson Introduction for Erin's Law

🎉 Welcome to Health Class!

Hello, amazing fourth graders! Today, we’re going to dive into an important topic that is all about keeping you safe and healthy. Are you ready to learn something that could really make a difference in your life and the lives of your friends?

🚦 What is Erin's Law?

First, let’s talk about Erin's Law! This law is named after a brave woman named Erin Merryn. She helps kids understand their bodies and teaches them about safety, especially when it comes to personal boundaries. Erin’s Law is all about empowering you to recognize and report any kind of abuse.

🎭 Let's Play a Quick Game!

Before we get started with our lesson, let's play a quick game called "Safe or Not Safe?"

How to Play:

1. I'll read a few scenarios aloud.
2. If you think the scenario describes a safe situation, give me a thumbs up!
3. If you think it’s not safe, just shake your head!

Example Scenarios:

• A friend tells you a secret that makes you feel uncomfortable.
• You’re at a sleepover, and your friends are being silly and playing a game where everyone has to keep their eyes closed for a long time.
• Someone hugs you without asking first, and it makes you feel uncomfortable.

📝 Let’s Discuss!

After we play, we’ll talk about why it’s important to know what is safe and what is not. Your feelings matter, and being aware will help you stay safe!

Are you excited? Let’s get started! 🌟
