Imagine your friend just got a really cool new video game. He invites you to come over to his apartment after school and be the first to play it with him.

Let's Practice!

Imagine you are walking home from school when you pass by a group of older kids hanging out on a corner. One of them is your friend’s cousin. They ask if you want to hang out with them. They seem really nice.

Imagine an uncle of yours who lives far away is visiting your family. He’s very nice, and the two of you have a lot of fun together during his visit. Right before he leaves, your uncle gives you a card with his email address on it. He asks you to take pictures of yourself and send them to him, so he can see how fast you’re growing up.

Imagine you like to chat online. You chat with lots of people and have made friends who live all over the world. One day, a friend you met online asks you to send him your home address so he can mail you a birthday present. He seems really nice, and your birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks.

Review: Why do you need to always ask first before going somewhere, doing something, or accepting something from someone, even if you think it seems safe?

Lesson 3: Unsafe and Unwanted Touches

Understand the difference between unsafe and unwanted touches

Identify and refuse unsafe and unwanted touches in response to scenarios

Today you’ll hear a story about a boy who is dealing with an unwanted touch. As you listen to the story, think about how the boy is deciding what touches are okay for him.

Marcus wants to refuse Allie’s unwanted touch, but he’s worried he’ll hurt Allie’s feelings. Marcus decides to ask Mr. Hicks, his favorite playground supervisor, what he should do

At the beginning of recess, Marcus sits down next to Allie. He tells her he’s realized that he’s not ready to hold hands. Allie thanks Marcus for telling her and apologizes. She never wanted to make Marcus uncomfortable and is glad they can still be friends.

Let's Practice!

Activity

Goal: to identify unsafe and unwanted touches and practice refusing in an assertive way.

An unsafe touch is any touch that hurts your body. An unwanted touch is any touch you don’t like or that makes you feel uncomfortable.

I’ll read a scenario.

You and your partner will work together to decide if the touching is unsafe or unwanted or neither.

When you and your partner have decided, stand up.
