Following Rules: Lesson 1

What is a rule?

A rule is a law or direction that tells us what to do and what not to do.

We follow rules in our life everyday.

Some rules keep us safe.

Don't cross the street without a grown up.

Don't run in the house.

Always wear your seat-belt.

Those rules make sure you don't get hurt.

Some rules help us get along with others.

Don't push.

Don't yell inside the library.

Don't call others people names.

Those are all rules that help us respect others.

Some rules even protect the things we own.

Don't write on the walls.

Put your toys away.

Don't drink or eat on the couch.

All those rules make sure that the things we own don't get broken or damaged.

Can you think of any rules that keep us safe?
