Upper primary: age 7-11
Explore our comprehensive suite of water safety teaching activities, lesson plans and learning resources, aimed at older primary aged children.
These activities are designed to teach children the Water Safety Code, as they collect virtual badges for their Water Safety Passport. Through play, video and discussion, they’ll learn how to plan for a trip near water, what to take and what to do, and how to identify possible dangers by rivers, lakes and the sea. The Water Safety Passport gives children a solid grounding in the Water Safety Code – with additional activities to choose from, depending on what’s most relevant for your class or group.
