Rules are like a special map that shows us how to be kind and safe! At home, your family might have rules about sharing toys or saying “please” and “thank you.” At school, you and your teacher might talk together to make class rules. You might decide to use “walking feet” in the hallway or “listening ears” during story time. When we help make the rules, we all feel like part of a happy team!
Did you know that grown-ups have rules too? Our leaders in the city or town make rules called laws to keep everyone safe. They might make a law that says cars must stop at a red light so people can cross the street. Sometimes, people vote to help choose the leaders who make these laws. Rules and laws are wonderful because they help us take care of each other and our beautiful world!
