Strangers

We have been talking about safety and today we discussed strangers. We watched a quick little movie clip on Little Red Riding Hood and talked about who was the stranger in this story. Of course they all yelled out, the wolf. I like this version because they make the wolf appear to be very friendly at first  and he looks nice when he really is a big bad wolf. We discussed how not all bad people look mean. Some of them can look really nice but may want to still hurt you. We also talked about Little Red Riding Hood and what she said to the wolf that you should never say to a stranger. For example; telling him her name and where her grandmother lived. I also found a great list of things that are good to talk to your kids about when discussing strangers. It talks about things a stranger may say to you to try to get you to come with them. And what to do if you get lost. I have included the movie and list for your convenience to look at. Afterwards we made puppets of the big bad wolf to remind them that they should stay away from people they don't know.
