"Stranger Danger worksheet for children to identify safe and unsafe actions when meeting strangers."

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Stranger Danger!" that is designed to teach children how to distinguish between safe and not safe behaviors when interacting with strangers. The task asks students to cut out and glue the phrases listed below into one of two columns: Safe or Not Safe, based on whether it's appropriate to do when meeting a stranger.

Let’s go through each phrase and determine if it’s safe or not safe, along with an explanation for each:

---

✔ Safe Behaviors (Things you should do):

1. Asking a question
→ *Safe* – It’s okay to ask a simple, polite question (e.g., "Can you help me find my mom?"), especially if you're lost. But be cautious about giving personal information.

2. Saying thank you
→ *Safe* – Always good manners! Saying "thank you" is polite and safe.

3. Holding hands
→ *Safe* – If you’re with a trusted adult, holding hands is safe. But never hold hands with a stranger unless they are helping you in a safe situation (like crossing the street).

4. Not saying anything
→ *Safe* – Sometimes it's best not to talk to strangers. If someone approaches you and makes you feel uncomfortable, it's safe to stay quiet and walk away.

5. First base
→ ✘ Wait — this one seems out of place. “First base” is a slang term from sports or relationships and doesn’t belong here. It might be a typo or error. Possibly meant to be “First, say no” or something similar. Let’s assume it’s a mistake. If it's literally “first base,” then it's not safe in this context because it refers to physical contact or intimacy, which is inappropriate with strangers.

→ Likely intended as “Say no” or “Walk away” → would be safe.

⚠️ Not Safe Behaviors (Things you should avoid):

1. Giving a hug
→ *Not Safe* – Never give hugs to strangers. Physical contact with unknown people can be dangerous.

2. Going into their car
→ *Not Safe* – Never get into a stranger’s car, even if they say they’re helping you.

3. Kissing on the cheek
→ *Not Safe* – Any kind of affectionate touch with a stranger is unsafe.

4. Saying excuse me
→ ✔ Actually, this is safe! Saying "excuse me" is polite and appropriate if you need to pass by someone. This may be mislabeled.

5. Following them
→ *Not Safe* – Never follow a stranger, even if they say they know your parent.

6. Asking for their number
→ *Not Safe* – You should never give or ask for personal information like phone numbers from strangers.

7. Saying thank you
→ Already listed under Safe — appears twice? Probably a duplication.

Final Answer & Explanation:

- Not Safe: Actions involving physical contact, going somewhere with a stranger, or sharing personal details.
