Primary safety: in the school building. (1955)

[Music] when you are working in your class do you sometimes forget some of the safe ways to do things to keep from getting hurt well today in miss johnson's room they've decided to play a safety game that will help everyone think of safe ways to do things in school and all of us who are watching can play the game with them here's how the game is played today it's bill's turn to be the safety guide the safety guide is going to watch the things the class does when he sees a good safe way he'll give it the go sign just like a traffic light and he'll raise the stop sign when he sees a way that is not safe if bill doesn't see it someone else will now he's watching a group at work and all the rest of us are watching watching their safety practices look closely now bill sees something did anyone else see it what was it the safety guide saw that's what miss johnson wants to know do you know yes richard passed the scissors handle first that's the right way the safe way isn't it and all of us want to learn to know good safe ways to keep everyone from getting hurt now let's keep watching do you see something do you suppose june was trying to catch the safety guide what's the safe way to carry pencils and other sharp things yes with the point down miss johnson has a picture that shows how someone might get hurt by not following good safe ways do you see what can happen to someone who carries his pencil with the point up let's all remember the right way carry sharp things with the point down all right let's keep watching as the group goes on working who will be the first to see a good or a bad safety practice do you see something doris sees it but the safety guide doesn't miss johnson wants doris to show what it is when you carry a chair that way the legs might hurt someone what's a good way to carry a chair this way points down the way we carry pencils the class beat the safety guy at that time bill will have to look sharp pony are you watching the way the class is watching and bill is watching let's see if you are oh do you see what the safety guide sees does marilyn see her own bad safety habit yes keeping all four chair legs on the floor is the safe way it would keep this fellow from getting hurt wouldn't it so everyone will keep his chair right square on the floor do you see what the safety guard sees what ellen sees gordon needs to remember to keep his feet out of the way so they won't trip other people we all need to remember that well now it's time for recess but because of rainy weather they will go to the gym today but it seems that some forgot to keep thinking about good safe ways to do things if everyone takes his turn getting his gym shoes without crowding and shoving they will all get to recess sooner and more safely won't they now clark has a question for miss johnson is it good safety to walk around with a shoelace dangling no it is not bill's going to watch that from now on and we can watch for more safety practices on the way to the gym now watch did you see what bill saw why did he give the stop sign what would happen to roy's fingers if that door closed all the way it's good safety always to use the doorknob so your fingers don't get caught in the door i see a good safe way to you the safety guide sees it too everyone knows about walking on the right side of the hall so we don't bump into people coming the other way but should we walk this close to the wall the safety guide thinks not here's why it's a good idea to keep to the right but leave enough room for doors to be opened without hurting anyone what about safety on the stairs it's a good practice to hold onto the handrail to keep from getting hurt if you should slip and to walk not jump or run these are good safe ways do you remember the others we've seen how do we pass the scissors that's right handle first how do we carry pencils or sharp points we carry them point down how do we carry chairs yes with the legs pointed down how do we sit on a chair we keep our chair legs on the floor all four of them and we keep our own legs out of the way so no one trips over them when we go somewhere or do something together do we push or shove no we wait for our turn without crowding or hurrying what about fingers on the edge of the door it's safer to use the doorknob do we keep to the right yes but we leave enough room so doors can open without hurting anyone we always walk on the stairs without jumping and we hold on to the handrail and there are other safe practices you may know and would like to think about maybe you would like to play a safety game in your school and have more fun too [Music] you
