Talk together

  • Can a visitor use your key?
  • Where is one place compared with another?
  • What work happens at each?

Get ready

Safety

  • A grown-up chooses a safe accessible route and stays close; hold hands near streets. Stay away from traffic, wildlife, unknown plants and standing water; use photos indoors if needed.
