Safety Planning Activity

Plan a trip to a somewhere near the water.

  • 30-45 minutes
  • Required: individual computers with Internet
  • Stop and think
  • Stay together

This activity helps reinforce the need for appropriate planning before taking a trip to a waterside location – particularly when planning to enter the water.

Students choose from a list of day trips and write a plan, ensuring they’ve thought about things like the time of year and types of activities – and that they’ve mitigated against potential problems.
