Introduction

(10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of previous contents:

   • The teacher begins the class by reminding students of previous concepts that are necessary for understanding the current lesson. For example, what is safety, what are the dangers that can exist in an environment such as the home and the meaning of responsibility.

2. Initial situations:

   • The teacher presents two situations that will serve as a starting point for the discussion of the topic. The first situation could be a scene where a child is playing with a sharp object, such as scissors, unsupervised. The second situation could be a child trying to reach a cleaning product on a high cupboard.

3. Contextualization:

   • The teacher contextualizes the importance of the subject by explaining to the students that domestic accidents are a major cause of injuries in children and that most of these accidents can be avoided with simple preventive measures. He/she can also mention real examples of domestic accidents that have occurred in the community or in the news.

4. Gaining students' attention:

   • The teacher presents a curiosity about domestic accidents, such as the fact that many accidents happen in the kitchen, a place that children generally consider safe.
   • Then, the teacher tells a short and interesting story about a domestic accident that was avoided due to prevention and safety awareness. This serves to illustrate to students that preventing domestic accidents is possible and that they can also contribute to the safety in their own homes.

At the end of the introduction, students should have a clear understanding of the importance of preventing domestic accidents and be motivated to learn more about the subject.

Development

(20 - 25 minutes)

3. Transition to practical activities

   • To consolidate the theory learned, the teacher proposes an activity where each student will draw a home environment (kitchen, living room, bedroom, etc.) and indicate where the possible risks of domestic accidents are, based on what they have learned.
   • The teacher can provide ready-made drawings and the students are responsible for identifying and coloring the dangerous points.
   • This activity allows for a practical understanding of the concepts previously presented, besides reinforcing the idea that preventing domestic accidents is also a role for children.
