Price in USD

Nine activities help you practise 'Safety Powers' with your group of children in fun, non-scary ways, supported by nine songs, three videos, 18 Kidpower Safety Signals, emotion cards and more.






Each activity provides concise information about the aims and easy-to-follow guidelines on how to introduce and practise the skills and how to use a variety of resources to support your group of children's learning (i.e. puppets, art, language and literacy exercises, songs, emotion cards, etc.)
They show how to use Kidpower's  Keys to Success to help children learn:

  • Make it fun – because people learn better when they are having fun
  • Make it simple – because simple things are easier to remember
  • Practise – a lot! – because repeated, successful practice makes skills stronger and increases confidence
  • Make it relevant – because people learn a skill faster when it seems useful

    • Simon Hartman designed the resources.
    • Fiona Bryan, Empowerment Trust National Executive Director, provided major administrative support.
    • Early Childhood and Primary School teacher Lisa Piper inspired the production of this resource. She adapted aspects of the copyrighted Kidpower curriculum, making it more specific to New Zealand teachers, whānau and tamariki. International Programmes and Quebec Director Marylaine Leger and Quebec Instructor Chantal Collin created the first Kidpower song in 2005.
    • Early Childhood Educator and Kidpower NZ Instructor Jan Sagar, Kidpower US teacher Jennifer Blackwood, Irene, and Lisa had creative input and field-tested the early songs.
    • Rick Stokes from 7th Sense Studio composed and vocalised some of the songs and recorded all of them.
    • Emily Bryan, Jahliyah Macdonald, and Janet Talamaivao brought the songs to life with their young voices.
    The Kidpower Online Learning Center, part of Kidpower International, aims to help learners gain important 'People Safety' skills for themselves and to help educators and caring adults learn how to teach these important skills to others, using Kidpower's Positive Teaching Method™.
