- Do they know what overdose means?
**Body**:
**Part 1: Importance of School Rules and Regulations (15 minutes)**:
1. Explain what school rules are using flashcards showing different rules (e.g., raising hands, lining up, being respectful).
2. Discuss why these rules are important using simple language:
- To stay safe
- To learn in a peaceful environment
- To help everyone get along
3. Read a storybook that incorporates school rules and how following them helps everyone.
4. Ask a few students to share their favorite school rule and why they think it's important.
**Activity**: Students will draw their favorite school rule on a piece of paper and share it with the class.

**Part 2: Security Precautions in the Office (15 minutes)**:
1. Show pictures of basic security measures in an office (e.g., security badges, fire alarms, emergency exits).
2. Explain why security is important in offices:
- To protect people
- To keep the office safe from harm
- To ensure everyone can work safely
3. Use the simple office setup props to role-play a security scenario:
- Showing a security badge
- Pretending to use a fire alarm
4. Discuss the importance of listening to security officers or teachers during an emergency.
**Activity**: Students will practice a fire drill by lining up quietly and walking outside the classroom to a designated safe area.

**Part 3: Meaning and Symptoms of Overdose (15 minutes)**:
1. Explain in very simple terms what an overdose is (taking too much of something on accident, like medicine).
2. Talk about why it's important to only take medicine given by an adult.
3. Show visual aids depicting the symptoms of overdose in a very child-friendly way (e.g., feeling very sleepy, feeling sick, having a tummy ache).
4. Demonstrate with the toy first aid kit what to do if someone feels sick after taking too much medicine:
- Tell an adult right away
- Sit or lie down in a safe place
**Activity**: Students will role-play a scenario where they "pretend" to take too much of something (using the toy props) and practice telling the teacher or a friend.
