Watching over you

Lesson 5 – 25 minutes

Learning outcomes

• Understand the role of an adult at the beach

Preparation

• No preparation needed.

Discuss

• Sit the participants in a group.
• Ask the participants the following questions to generate a discussion:
  • Who goes to the beach with you? (Mum, Dad, friends, brothers, sisters etc).
  • Why is it important to always be at the beach with an adult? (So they can look after you).
  • What should the adult do when they are at the beach with you? (They should always stay within arms reach of you in the water, keep you safe).

Activity

• Split participants into small groups.
• Ask the participants to create a picture on the sand that shows an adult looking after them at the beach.
• Participants can use sand and any items they find around the beach (seaweed, sticks, shells etc).
• Give the participants 15min to complete their beach scene
• After 15 minutes, get all the participants together and walk around each of the groups pictures discussing with them who the adult is and what they are doing.

*AGE MANAGER TIPS

If given the opportunity participants can take a long time to create sand sculptures, keep an eye out on progress and hurry them up if taking too long.
