Summer activities are around the corner, do your Cloverbuds know how to identify themselves or where they should go if they get separated from their parents or their group?

Discuss who are your safe adults to find? Store worker/ Employee , police officer, security person, other mother/father with children.

Practice  your address and phone number: Use the Know my Address / Know My Phone Number Printable from the Big Book of Clover Bud Activities 

Play: Lost Child Game – Gather the children in a circle. Tell them you are going to play a game that requires using their memory and observation skills. Select one child to be the “Police Officer” and ask that child to leave the room for a minute. Select two different children to be the “parent” and one to be the “lost child”. Tell the “parent” to look carefully at their “lost child”. What does he or she look like? What is he or she wearing? Have the “Child” go back into the group of other Cloverbuds. Have the child who is the “police officer” come back into the room. Have the “Parent” explain that their child is missing and give their description. Challenge the “Police Officer” to locate the “child” out of the group of other children using only the description given.

Encourage your Cloverbuds to use their skills of observation and memory every day!
