HOME EDITION 🏠
Today in PE Class...
Your child joined the Tag Team Academy ! We learned how to be "Safe Hands Heroes" by playing tag with kindness. Instead of pushing, we practiced Butterfly Taps to keep our friends safe and happy.
Butterfly Taps
We use two fingers to give a gentle "Butterfly Tap." We say: "Butterflies, Not Bears!"
The Safe Zone
We only tag on the shoulders or the upper back . We avoid faces and tummies to keep it fun!
Ask Your Hero
?
"Can you show me a 'Butterfly Tap'?"
?
"Where is the 'Safe Zone' for tagging?"
?
"What if you tag someone too hard?"
Try This At Home: Slow-Motion Tag
Play tag in slow motion! It helps practice Safe Hands in a controlled way.
Move like you are under water.
Practice gentle shoulder taps.
Freeze like a statue when tagged!

Reinforce "Safe Hands" by teaching students how "Butterfly Taps" apply to books, supplies, and personal space in the classroom. (Note: Send home the separate Parent Guide to keep the momentum going!)
Butterfly vs. Bear Hands
Turning Pages
Use a light butterfly touch so the paper doesn't rip.
Borrowing Tools
Wait for your friend to hand it to you—no grabbing!
The Lunch Line
Keep one big "bubble" of space between you and your friend.
Accidents
If you bump someone, stop and ask "Are you okay?"
Pro Tip: Give a "Tag Team Shout-Out" whenever you spot a student using gentle hands!
