This activity uses role play to demonstrate the correct response practice to an emergency situation. Two scenarios have been provided: one for a beach location and the other an inland waterway.
With the group split into pairs or groups of three, each child assumes one role in the rescue situation.
After a 5-minute rehearsal, the children will act out the scenarios in front of another group or the whole class.
