Teacher’s/Leader’s Guide for ® Your body is yours! Pages 2 and 3—Safe and unsafe touches (Note: You may want to invite the school nurse, counselor or social worker to lead the suggested activities in this guide with students.) After completing these 2 pages, ask students to think of as many different touches as they can. In some cases, students will be able to say right away if a touch feels safe or unsafe. In other cases, such as with tickling (which can sometimes go too far), it may not be as clear. Be sure to talk about these unclear examples, discussing situations when the touch might feel safe and when it might not. Explain the concept of “instinct.” Tell students it is important to trust and act on your feelings if something feels wrong. (If a student brings up a personal situation involving abuse, redirect the conversation to a more general focus. Be sure to seek help for the student—from the school counselor or social worker, for example. Also be sure to know and follow all mandatory reporting requirements.) After finishing the workbook, have another discussion and see if students have any additions or changes. Talk with students about different types of feelings and examples of situations when someone might have those feelings. Play a “charades” game. Have 1 pair of students at a time come up and silently act out scenes you give them, and other students guess the feeling involved. One example might be having a student grab an imaginary toy from the other, and the other looking angry. (Emphasize that no physical contact is allowed.) Once the other students guess the feeling, talk about how the feeling can be handled appropriately (for example, by talking out a problem instead of fighting, or asking an adult for help with an overwhelming feeling).
