Let’s go step by step to figure out which pictures show
laws — rules that everyone must follow because the government made them, and breaking them can get you in trouble.
We’ll look at each picture one by one:
---
1.
“You must stop at a red light”
→ This is a traffic law. The government makes these rules to keep people safe on roads. If you don’t stop, you can get a ticket or cause an accident.
✔ This IS a law.
2.
“You must make your bed”
→ This is something parents might ask you to do at home. It’s not a rule from the government. No police officer will arrest you for not making your bed.
✘ Not a law.
3.
“You must clean up your mess”
→ Again, this is usually a family or classroom rule. Maybe your teacher or parent says it, but it’s not written in legal books. You won’t go to jail for leaving toys out (unless they’re dangerous!).
✘ Not a law.
4.
“Kids must ride in special seats”
→ Yes! This is a real law in many places. Governments say kids need car seats or boosters until they’re big enough. Police can give tickets if you don’t follow this.
✔ This IS a law.
5.
“You must not steal”
→ Stealing is against the law everywhere. Taking things that aren’t yours without permission is called theft, and it’s illegal. You can get in serious trouble with the police.
✔ This IS a law.
6.
“When you walk your dog, it must be on a leash”
→ In most cities and towns, there are local laws saying dogs must be on leashes in public areas. This keeps people and animals safe. Breaking this rule can mean a fine.
✔ This IS a law.
---
So, the correct boxes to check are:
- You must stop at a red light
✔
- Kids must ride in special seats
✔
- You must not steal
✔
- When you walk your dog, it must be on a leash
✔
The other two (“make your bed” and “clean up your mess”) are good habits or house rules — not laws.
Final Answer:
Check the boxes next to:
- You must stop at a red light
- Kids must ride in special seats
- You must not steal
- When you walk your dog, it must be on a leash
