Personal hygiene keeps germs away: bathe daily, brush teeth twice, wash hands with soap before eating and after the toilet, keep nails short and wear clean clothes and footwear.
Safety in play: wear proper shoes, drink water, do not push on slides or swings, and play in safe areas. Road safety: cross at zebra crossings, look right, left and right again, and hold an adult's hand.
In an emergency, tell a teacher, parent or trusted adult; remember emergency number 112 in India.
