Lesson 3: P.L.A.N.

This lesson will introduce children to P.L.A.N. Children will learn that they make a P.L.A.N. before they go places so that their Grown-Up Buddies know where they are going and what they are doing. It’s important to make a plan –and stick to it – to stay safe. Each step of P.L.A.N. helps keep them safe. First, P-is important because children should always have Permission from the grown-up who is in charge or the Grown-Up Buddy before they go anywhere or do anything. L-tells the grown-up in charge or the Grown-Up Buddy the Location where children will be. This is a very important step because if it changes, children must begin the P.L.A.N. process again. A-tells the grown-up who is in charge or the Grown-Up Buddy about the Activity the child will engage in while they are gone. Finally, N-is the Name and phone Number of the person(s) with the child. At the end of this lesson, children will understand that the P.L.A.N. can sometimes change.
