- Stay within designated areas.
- Stop moving immediately when the whistle blows.
2. **Demonstrate Examples:**
- Give concrete examples of what following and not following each rule looks like.
#### Guided Practice (15 minutes):
1. **Movement Stations:**
- Set up different stations with activities (e.g., hula hoop spinning, soft ball throwing, cone weaving).
- Divide students into small groups.
- Assign each group to a station and rotate every 3 minutes.
- Reinforce safety rules at each station and observe students to ensure compliance.
2. **Role-Playing Activity:**
- Have students role-play scenarios where they either follow safety rules or demonstrate what could go wrong if rules are neglected.
- Discuss what they noticed and learned from the role-play.
#### Independent Practice (10 minutes):
1. **Safety Rule Game:**
