  • For questions with many right answers, accept any answer that matches the idea.
  • For the safety and consent questions, it helps to act them out with a strong, clear voice.

For parents and teachers

Use mistakes to choose what to revisit. Each review section matches one lesson.

  • Mixes up the food groups or thinks juice and sports drinks are as good as water: revisit Using Canada's Food Guide.
  • Thinks healthy eating means only fancy or fresh food, or can't tell what they can and can't control: revisit Healthy Meals and Snacks.
  • Can't name common allergens or would wait before getting help: revisit Food Allergies and Sensitivities. Getting help fast is the key message.
  • Would open the door, cross tracks when signals are on, or share personal information online: revisit Staying Safe at Home, Outdoors and Online and practise with role-play.
  • Isn't sure that "no" and "stop" must be respected, or would keep a secret about touching: revisit Consent: Standing Up for Myself and Others calmly, and practise the strong voice.
  • Uses only a few feeling words, or doesn't know when to ask for help: revisit Naming Feelings and Getting Along with Others.
  • Mixes up prescription and non-prescription medicine, or thinks sharing medicine is okay: revisit Medicine Safety and Other Ways to Stay Healthy.
  • Can't order the life stages, or speaks unkindly about their body: revisit Growing and Changing.
  • Forgets the two-and-two brushing rule or why sugar causes cavities: revisit Healthy Teeth.

Keep these talks calm and positive. Children learn best when health and safety topics feel normal, not scary.
