waterproof, flourescent etc.

Spot them all
Format:
Tower
Method and message:
This magnetic jigsaw encourages children to look hard at a cartoon,
spotting danger and safety factors and making up their own minds
about these.
Usage:
The activity should generate discussion when done by a group.
Several spotters can look for the items to be counted (footballs
etc). There is a lot more detail in the cartoon for a facilitator
to bring out as a basis for further discussion. This aspect should
work well with all ages.
