Music about Safety for Kids

Believe it or not, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) has released a collection of songs aimed at youth 13-24 about safety that are actually pretty catchy and not stupid. They are also in the public domain so you can download and post or whatever!


The whole EP is here on YouTube.
We're Safety Now Haven't We is a collection of songs created by USCPSC to teach young Americans (ages 13 to 24) how to avoid some of the most common hazards in their lives.

BrainPOP

We are in the process of renewing our BrainPOP subscription. It's available now. It will have single signon but that's not set up quite yet.

In the meantime, you can email me to ask for the username and password. You can post it in a Google Classroom but make sure it doesn't get posted on any publicly available pages because that's a violation of our terms of service.

I'll give you some more information about ways you can use BrainPOP beside just having the kids watch the movies and access the quizzes, but in the meantime, those are pretty useful by themselves.
