Let’s go step by step to figure out which things are safe and which are not safe in the water.
We have two sheets:
1. The first sheet says: “Color in the things that are safe and put an X on the things that are not safe.”
2. The second sheet has cut-out pictures with labels, and we need to place them on the correct sheet (safe or not safe).
Let’s look at each item from the second sheet and decide if it’s safe or not safe.
---
Item 1: Swimming on your back
→ This is a calm way to float. It’s usually safe if you’re in shallow water or with supervision.
✔ SAFE
Item 2: Life jacket
→ A life jacket helps you float and stay safe in water. Always good to wear one when needed.
✔ SAFE
Item 3: Panicking
→ If someone is panicking in water, they might splash wildly, swallow water, or drown. Not safe!
✘ NOT SAFE
Item 4: Lifeguard
→ A lifeguard is trained to help people in water. Having one around makes swimming safer.
✔ SAFE
Item 5: Jellyfish
→ Some jellyfish sting and can hurt you. You should avoid touching them.
✘ NOT SAFE
Item 6: High surf wave
→ Big waves can knock you down, pull you under, or drag you away. Dangerous for swimmers.
✘ NOT SAFE
Item 7: Slippery rocks
→ Rocks near water can be slippery — you could fall and get hurt.
✘ NOT SAFE
Item 8: Swimming with a friend
→ It’s always safer to swim with someone else so they can help if something goes wrong.
✔ SAFE
Item 9: Shallow waters
→ Shallow water means you can stand up easily. Safer than deep water, especially for beginners.
✔ SAFE
*(Note: There’s also a red rescue tube shown at the bottom right — that’s used by lifeguards to save people, so it’s part of safety equipment → SAFE)*

Now let’s group them:
✔ SAFE:
- Swimming on your back
- Life jacket
- Lifeguard
- Swimming with a friend
- Shallow waters
- Rescue tube (if included)
✘ NOT SAFE:
- Panicking
- Jellyfish
- High surf wave
- Slippery rocks
---
Final Answer:
Safe items: Swimming on your back, Life jacket, Lifeguard, Swimming with a friend, Shallow waters, Rescue tube
Not safe items: Panicking, Jellyfish, High surf wave, Slippery rocks
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of safety worksheet for preschoolers.
