The week of April 23rd is National
Playground Safety Week, here are some playground
safety tips that will keep you safe and healthy:
1.
Play
responsibly.
2.
Make sure
to take off your bicycle helmet when playing on the playground equipment.
3.
Adults
should always be present when children play.
4.
Pick up
the trash.
5.
Tell an
adult if playground equipment is broken, and do not play on it until fixed.
6.
Safety on
swings: Sit down while you swing. Slow
down before you get off a swing. Do not
walk near someone who is swinging. You
could get hit if you walk too closely.
7.
Safety on
Climbers: Use both hands when you climb.
Only climb on dry equipment. You
could fall if it is wet.
8.
Safety on
Slides: Never climb up the front of the
slide. Someone may slide down and hit
you. It is safest to slide down with your
feet first. Only one person should slide
down at a time.
