Rule #1: Safe Sharp Tips
Slide 2 of 6
The Safe Way
Point Down!
Always hold your pencil with the sharp point looking down at the floor or paper.
👇
Keep tips away from eyes & friends!
The No-No
No Waving!
Never wave your pencil in the air, point it at friends, or hold it near your face.
🚫
Pencil tips are sharp and poke!
💡 Superstars always keep their pencil pointing to the ground!
Rule #2: Pencils Love Paper
Slide 3 of 6
The Safe Way
Only on Paper!
Write and draw only on worksheets, drawing notebooks, or writing pads given by your teacher.
📄
Paper is the pencil's home!
The No-No
No Scribble Mess!
Never draw on your desk, on school walls, on clothing, or inside reading books.
🚯
We keep our classroom beautiful!
💡 If it's not paper, your pencil shouldn't write on it!
Rule #3: Sit to Write
Slide 4 of 6
The Safe Way
Stay Seated!
Keep your bottom on the chair while using your pencil. Sit nice and tall!
🪑
Sitting still keeps your hands steady!
The No-No
No Walking or Running!
Never walk, run, or jump while holding a pencil in your hand. You could trip!
🏃♂️
Running + sharp objects = Ouch!
💡 If you need to stand up, put your pencil back in its cup first!
Rule #4: Happy Pencil Pressure
Slide 5 of 6
The Safe Way
Write Gently!
Press softly on the paper. Let the pencil slide like a little ice skater!
✍️
Gentle writing is easy to erase!
The No-No
No Breaking Lead!
Don't push down super hard. Never break the tip on purpose, and don't peel off the wood!
💔
Let's keep our pencil tips happy!
💡 If your tip breaks by accident, gently walk to the pencil hospital (the sharpener)!
