What is your best defense against a drunk driver?					Good communication with your child is one of the best ways to prevent this type of abuse. Children should know they can and should talk with their parents about anything that makes them sad, scared, or confused. See our website for a quick guide. 	Stranger Danger	Family Game
What is your fire escape plan for the house?					Go to the closest store and find an employee. Tell him/her you lost your friends and someone is following you. He/she will call a security guard who will help you find your friends.	Personal Safety	Family Game
What items are most commonly ignited from a fire started by a candle?					Get a lifeguard if available, have someone call 911, throw them something that floats, shout instructions for escape to them, and inform an adult. Only attempt to rescue a swimmer in a rip current yourself as a last resort and ONLY if you are a VERY strong swimmer.	Water Safety	Family Game
What items should you keep away from the swimming pool when it is not in use?					Freeze and yell your parents names. Tell a clerk or a parent with children that you lost your Mom & Dad. They will make an announcement and your parents will come and pick you up.	Wilderness Survival	Family Game

What number do you dial on the phone if you are in trouble or danger?					First, you should only cross at a public crossing which usually has lights, a bell, and maybe gates. You should cross just like a street; look left, right, and left again. And you should walk your bike across the tracks so your tires don't get stuck.	Water Safety	Family Game
What particular aspect of foods like hot dogs or grapes make them so dangerous for young children?					First, you do not have to answer any of those questions. Second, you must tell a parent or another trusted adult.	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
What percent of civilian fire fatalities occur in homes/residential buildings?					First, do not panic. Look around and find a security guard, a nice family with children or a policeman and ask for help. They will assist you in locating your parents.	Personal Safety	Family Game
What percentage of bicycle-related fatalities involve injuries to the head?					First handle the tooth only by the crown - never the root. Rinse with saline solution or milk - never tap water. There are 3 easy ways you can keep the tooth viable while transporting to a dentist. If the child is old enough, you can insert it into the tooth cavity and have them hold in place. Store the tooth in a glass of milk or place the tooth in between your lower cheek and gum.	First Aid	Family Game

What should the chest compressions to breaths ratio be when performing CPR on a child?					False. Your body needs more water than food to survive. See our website for more information.	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
What should the chest compressions to breaths ratio be when performing CPR on an adult?					False. You should not do anything to induce vomiting unless instructed. If the suspected poison is a household cleaner or other chemical, read the label and follow instructions for accidental poisoning. If the product is toxic, the label will likely advise you to call the National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222). Also call this 800 number if you can’t identify the poison, if it’s medication or if there are no instructions available. 	Fire Safety	Family Game

What should you do if a choking person displays a weak or ineffective cough, indicating that air exchange is minimal?					False. You need to touch the door before you open it. If you place your hand on the door and it feels hot, don't open it because that means the fire is outside the door. Use your alternate escape route.	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
What should you do if there is a fire in the microwave?					False. You need to take the same route every time. If you don't make it to the bus stop or school, your parents need to know where to look for you.	Stranger Danger	Family Game

When this occurs, safety experts theorize that some drivers assume that something has gone wrong with their brakes. These drivers then begin to pump the pedal or simply lift off the brake pedal. This defeats the ABS system. 	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
What should you do if you get lost while hiking without a map and you do not recognize any landmarks?					False. This is an often repeated myth. Alligators are fairly fast on land, running up to 10 miles per hour. However, they rarely pursue prey on land and they tire quickly. If you see an alligator on land, the best advice is to run away from the alligator and away from water in a straight line as fast as possible.	Stranger Danger	Family Game
What should you do if you have touched poison ivy, oak, or sumac?					False. These animals may look cute and friendly but they are not like regular pets and you should never touch or feed them. They could attack or bite and they might have rabies.	Fire Safety 	Family Game
What should you do if you make a computer friend and then he/she sends you pictures of people not wearing any clothes?					False.

See our website for more information.	Water Safety	Family Game
What should you do if you notice a person in a car hanging around all of the time? 					False. The tornado will blast open the windows. 	Stranger Danger	Family Game
What should you do if you notice an electrical outlet or switch feels warm?					False. The safest place is in the rear seat properly buckled. It is critical not to give in to a child’s “growing pains” while traveling in a vehicle. Bring along some soft toys to keep them occupied while properly buckled up and seated in the back seat. This may sound difficult, but never take short cuts when it comes to children’s safety. 	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
What should you do if you see a bat in your attic?					False. The narrowest part is usually the fastest-moving part of the stream. Find a wide, slow-moving part of the stream to cross safely. 	Home Safety	Family Game
What should you do if you see a driver you think may be impaired?					False. Tell your parents about any bite, the animal must be checked for rabies. Rabies is an extremely dangerous disease.	Personal Safety	Family Game
What should you do if you see a shark while swimming?					False. Studies have shown that proper hand washing with regular soap is just as effective. However, the widespread use of these products is now raising health issues, allergy correlations, bacterial resistance, and potential environmental impact. Read more at our website and decide for yourself.	Personal Safety	Family Game
What should you do if you see a wolf?					False. Staring at the sun at any time without eye protection can cause eye injury. 	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
What should you do if your Dad's best friend is making you feel uncomfortable by asking you weird questions?					False. Sparklers burn at a VERY high temperature and cause the most firework burns on young children. There are no truly safe home fireworks.	Home Safety	Family Game
What should you do if your gas pedal sticks to the floor when driving?					False. Soft drinks contain carbonation and caffeine which can make you more dehydrated over time.	Fire Safety 	Family Game
What should you do if you're home alone, eating a snack and you start choking? 					False. Snow on ice acts as an insulator - it makes ice warmer and weaker. Ice on rivers, lakes, and ponds is extremely dangerous. Never go on ice alone or without an adult with expertise on ice safety and rescue. See our website for more information.	Personal Safety	Family Game
What should you do in an earthquake once the shaking begins?					False. Smoke alarms are designed to detect fires and not carbon monoxide. Only a CO alarm is designed for this purpose. Some newer alarms combine both CO and smoke detection.	Water Safety	Family Game
What should you do when you are confronted by a strange dog without a leash or an owner?					False. See and being seen is critical when riding your bike. Fluorescent, neon, and other bright colors are best. Headlights, reflectors and reflecting tape for your bike and helmet as well as rear flashing lights are also recommended. See and be seen! 	Water Safety	Family Game
What should you never put on a lamp?					False. Placing candles too close to combustible material is the leading cause, unattended candles are the 2nd leading cause. Candles can be very dangerous, proper holders, proper placement, and attention are essential. 	Personal Safety	Family Game

The average lifeguard is watching 25 or more people swimming and is no substitute for a swimming buddy and parental supervision. 	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
