Suggestions for Teaching
The focus of this session is to have participants start to take on the responsibility of being safe walkers. Continuously check with participants for their understanding of the task by asking them questions and observing their behaviours. If participants have a lot of questions, go over the main points again.
Debrief
Complete a Passport for each participant.
If you are teaching a group within your community, the participants should bring home their Passports to discuss and show their parents/caregivers what they learned.
At home participants should be encouraged to discuss:
The proper clothing individuals should wear for different types of weather and lighting conditions.
Participants must also get their parents/caregivers to initial their Passports, which need to be brought with them when they attend the next session, if being conducted in groups within the community.
