I couldn’t wait to bring you this site once I checked it out. The site discusses the dangers of playing in the snow near the road and it talks about snowplows.
Winter safety is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. I had a friend who got hurt when I was in grade school, because a snow fort she was digging caved in. So, I take winter safety very seriously.
This site is a series of safety videos for kids. It teaches them about winter safety. There are five videos in total. Each video addresses a different part of being safe. So, it’s important to watch each video to learn all that you can. The videos are also available in French.
You will also find a Safety Games booklet available in both English and French. These will make it even more fun for your kids to learn about winter safety. They are in a .PDF format, so you will need to get a reader to see them. You can find one here for free.
There is also a link to Sammy Snowplow in the News, which will show the news clippings about Sammy Snowplow. You can also check out the Sammy Snowplow theme song just under the news link on the page.
I hope this site helps your kids learn how to play safely in the snow and I also hope you’ll share it with others!
