Oh hey! I'm Justin. I'm trying to look for my friend Wendy. Have you seen her? She's
really little, wings, likes to wear a lot of yellow and black. Oh! There you are! Wendy's
here to help us fill up our safety kits. Today's lesson is all about safety gear.
Hi kids, I'm Wendy wasp buzzing in to talk all about safety gear with you today.
Were you planning to ride your bike? That would be so wasperrific! I've always wanted to ride a bike.
Alas, wasps are made for flying, not riding.
Wait! Where are you going without your safety gear?
Justin I'm about to bug out! I think we need to remind our friends about safety gear. Great idea
Wendy. It's especially important to use safety gear when you're playing on something with wheels.
Hey, have you ever heard of the game name five? It's where you name five things in a category
as quick as you can. So uh, if I said name five candy you would say. Snickers, M&M's,
KitKat, Bubblegum, Lollipop. Yeah exactly! So let's name five things that we can play on
that have wheels. Ready? Bikes, scooters, rollerblades, roller skates, skateboards.
That was really fun!
Justin, remember that time you forgot to wear your safety gear when you were wheeling?
Ouch, that's how I learned that it's important to know about safety gear. And it's really easy too!
Whenever we're playing with wheels, it's super important to keep our bodies safe. The first
thing you should always do is wear a helmet. A helmet is a super important piece of equipment
that we should wear whenever we're playing or doing something where we can hit our head.
Gotta protect that noggin. Your brain is really important! So let's keep it safe. Your helmet
should fit snug around your head so that it stays in place in case you fall.
Clip so it doesn't slip. Don't forget about your elbows and knees! Great idea Wendy.
After you put on your helmet, the next thing you got to protect are your elbows and knees
with special pads shaped to fit exactly right. Our bodies are really amazing. Take our reflexes
for example, our elbows and knees are designed to reflex, or to fling out, to help protect us
when we're falling. This reflex happens so fast you don't even have to think about it.
That's buzzerrific! It sure is. Thanks Wendy for helping us add safety gear to our safety kit.
