Your Question?
Create a list of 10 rules that can be implemented to keep children safe. you can not use rules already in the text.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I have....
hands to ourselves, walking inside, remember sun hats, play gently (no pushing/shoving), take turns...

but then I was thinking maybe it is directed more at staff, eg supervision, age appropriate activities, keeping gates latched etc...

Description and Message:

Play away from cars
Play somewhere soft in case of falls
Play somewhere made for children
Use equipment properly
Report damaged or broken equipment
Play in the shade where possible and apply sunscreen - No hat no play!
Stay out of the sun between 10am-3pm
Look after friends, especially little friends
Take turns
Play gently without violence - pushing and pulling can cause falls

Rough games should only be played where the ground is soft and there is nothing hard to fall on
Ball games need lots of space
Chasing games are better played away from other people and buildings
Quiet games and boisterous games don't really mix
Try not to spoil someone else's game with your own
