We recently did an activity, during which we had a class discussion about swimming safety based on a pop-up book that I created.

The main points that I wanted to convey

1) Keep all glass objects away from the pool area.

2)Make sure you have adult permission and supervision.


3)Don't dive at the shallow end of a pool or into a shallow pool.


4)If someone is drowning--get help right away.

The students enjoyed listening to the story, and we took a field trip to the local community swimming pool at the end of the week to put these safety rules into . Each child later made his or her own pop-up book after our science lesson on animals.
