Secret Family Codes Slides Case File #2
Secret Family Codes
Creating a secret way to know if a grown-up is sent by your family.
What if?
Imagine a person you don't know walks up to you at school and says:
"Your mom is busy and asked me to pick you up. Come with me to my car!"
What is the first thing you should ask?
"What is our
SECRET CODE?"
How Code Words Work
1
Secret Only
Only you and your grown-ups know the code word. Don't tell your friends!
2
Ask First
If anyone you don't expect tries to pick you up, ask for the code word first.
3
No Code = No Go
If they don't know the word, don't go. Run to a teacher or a safe adult.
Choosing a Good Code
GREAT IDEAS
• A weird food (Blue Cheese)
• An animal + a color (Purple Tiger)
• A made-up word (Zibble-Zobble)
• A planet (Mars Rover)
AVOID THESE
• Your name
• "Password"
• "1234"
• Something easy to guess
You will choose your REAL code with your family tonight!
Family Code Word Contract Worksheet Home Mission #1
The Code Word Contract
TOP SECRET
To Parents & Guardians:
Today in class, we learned about family code words . This is a secret word or phrase used to verify if someone unexpected is picking up your child. Please sit down with your child, choose a unique code word together, and discuss the rule: "If someone doesn't know the code, I don't go with them."
Our Family Safety Rule:
"If anyone unexpected tries to pick me up, I will ask for our secret code. If they don't know it, I will not go. I will find a safe adult right away."
Write your secret family code here (and keep it secret!):
Example: "Purple Pineapple" or "Rocket Ship"
Detective's Signature (Student)
Chief's Signature (Guardian)
Fill this out and glue it into your Safety Passport tomorrow!
