Appropriate Touch

The "Appropriate Touch" Activity Worksheets are an essential resource for teaching children about personal boundaries and understanding the concept of appropriate and inappropriate touch. These worksheets aim to empower children with the knowledge to recognise and respond to different types of physical interactions safely and informally.

Activities typically include distinguishing between 'safe' and 'unsafe' touches, understanding personal space, and learning to say 'no' to unwanted physical contact. Worksheets often feature scenarios for children to identify appropriate and inappropriate touching in various contexts, such as at home, school, or in public places.

Additionally, these worksheets emphasise the importance of trust and communication, encouraging children to talk to a trusted adult if they experience or witness inappropriate touching. Role-playing exercises, discussion questions, and story-based scenarios are common, facilitating an understanding of consent and bodily autonomy.

These worksheets provide a sensitive, age-appropriate approach to a crucial topic, fostering a safe environment for children to learn and express themselves. Engaging in these activities, children are better equipped to understand their rights and the importance of respecting others' boundaries.
