PSHE Health and Social | Rules we must follow

Health Education Quiz - Rules Outside of School - Age 5-7 (Questions)

One part of PSHE taught to KS1 children is following rules. In this quiz, written for children in years 1 and 2, we look at some of the rules we have to follow when we are not in school. In particular, we focus on the basic safety advice given about fires, crossing the road and more. These basics are normally covered at a cross-curricular level or in specialised PSHE lessons in school.

Rules are everywhere and are designed to keep us safe. In school, you have the Golden Rules but outside of school there will be rules you follow without realising it. Rules on crossing the road, on being polite, on avoiding accidents. They are all for the safety of you and of others.
