Tricky People! Curriculum

"I just love the program...I especially appreciate how you have included the drugs, alcohol, and smoking angle. The kids were making connections between that and things we did for Red Ribbon Week. They seemed to finally realize that a younger person, maybe even someone the same age as them, could be a Tricky Person. I saw the "light bulb" go on in student after student...Thanks for doing that!"
- Kim Bellomy, Counselor, Killeen ISD

This PowerPoint presentation, with three songs and six video lessons embedded in the presentation, wakes up and empowers children to protect themselves from the dangers of Tricky People (child predators). The Five Red Flags help children spot people who mean them harm so they can avoid danger. Children easily identify with the characters in the video and this draws them into discussion. Vital Yello Dyno safety lessons are reinforced through scenes from the Tricky People! DVD and are applied to lessons necessary for safety in everyday life.

15 Key Rules Are Taught:
New invaluable lessons, plus key safety rules provide a new level of knowledge as children are able to take on more responsibility for their own safety.
