The Safety Maze

The dangerous situations at the top of the panel are divided in three categories, each with a specific colour around the circle: nature (green), work/street (yellow) & leisure and health (pink).

In the middle of the panel, you'll see two symbols:

• Text balloon: talk about the potential danger. Ask questions like: What is the cause of this danger? Did you experience this danger before?
• Play-button: Play a game or complete a task related to this danger (see extra game information).

Overview of all possible solutions (danger + reaction):

GREEN (nature)

• Flood - Climb in a tree or go to higher ground.
• Sun - Put on sunscreen, wear a hat and drink water
• Earthquake - Hide under a table
• Fire - Run away and call the fire department
• Hurricane - Run away and look for shelter

YELLOW (work/street)

• Crossing the street - Use zebra crossing and watch out
• Picketpocket - Keep your money in a safe wallet
• Dumpsite - Wear protective clothing
• Working in a factory - Speak up for your rights
• Internet abuse - Talk about it with an adult

PINK (leasure and health)

• Having sex - Use contraception
• Drugs - Talk about it with a doctor

• Nightmares - Talk about it with someone

Overview of all the tasks to play (linked to the dangers):

• Flood: climb as fast as possible onto higher ground.
• Sun: shadow game: try to depict something by creating a shadow. The other players try to guess.
• Fire: play dodgeball (also known as in-between-fires, see rules in the image gallery)
• Hurricane: play 1, 2, 3 piano game (check the video in the image gallery). When you have to stand still, stand in a pose like you are hiding.
• Crossing the street: play in pairs. One player closes his eyes while the other player changes something subtle in his appearance. The first one needs to find what has changed.
• Pickpocket: each player attaches a scarf to his pants. Everyone runs around and tries to steal the scarf of the other players.
• Climbing in a tree: build a human pyramid.
• Dumpsite: what's the nicest thing you ever found in a pile of garbage?
• Contact with corrupt police officer: play a game of tag.
• Nightmares: look as long as possible in each other's eyes without blinking ('staring contest')

If you have a large group of players, play the game in teams.
