Stranger Danger Game????????????

Hi we are currently teaching our rainbow unit (15 girl guides age 5-7) about stranger danger. I was wondering if anyone knew of any games that could be played around this topic? They love to play outside where we have a garden surrounding the church with trees in I was maybe thiking of a treasure hunt where they had to find pictures of people and say whther they were a good stranger or a bad stranger e.g police man, shop assistant, unknown man in a car ect.

Does anyone know of somehting like this or any game in this topic?
Thank you Claire

i would be very careful about catagorizing people into 'good' and 'bad' people. obviously the kids need to know they can go to a policeman in uniform for help but i dont really know the best way to get the message across. sorry cant be more help!

maybe you could do some kind of role play where a child faces different situations and the kids could vote on what they should do next.
For example, child 1 lost in a supermarket could approach checkout girl / secrity guard at the door / follow a random stranger etc.

Or maybe another one could be the child is waiting outside school/rainbows but mum doesnt show up to collect - what should she do (go back inside!) or not do (get into strangers car / walk home alone etc)

hi thankyou for your advice i wasn't going to categorise like that just say like if you got lost go and find me someone who you would ask for help then they would need to find the police man and so on. The role play sounds good Thank you
