The Street Smarts Badge Challenge
Badge Challenge
Step 6 of 43 in the course
Seven questions. Every one has to be right — not most of them — because the badge is meant to mean something. Get one wrong and you can try it again straight away.
1. Should you walk home on your own?
2. A stranger has a puppy and asks if you want to stroke it. Do you stop?
3. A friend asks you to come to the park on the way home. Do you go straight home instead?
4. You have to change your route today. Do you tell your parent or guardian?
5. Can you stop at a friend’s house without telling anybody?
6. Is it important to make eye contact with a driver before you cross in front of them?
7. Before crossing, should you look left, right, and then check again?
Badge earned
You know your route, you know your five habits, and you know what to do on the day the walk home is not normal. That is the Street Smarts badge.
A certificate is issued by SOS 4 Kids to the parent or guardian on record. Certificates carry an expiry date — safety knowledge is refreshed, not filed away.
