Water safety games

Ages 5–12

Reach or Throw, Don’t Go

If someone is in trouble in the water, you can help without going in. Reach or throw, don’t go!

Play Reach or Throw, Don’t Go

How to play: First pick what to do. Then for each thing you see, tap Reach, Throw or Don’t go.

What you’ll learn

  • Shout for a grown-up or a lifeguard first.
  • Reach with something long, like a pole, and stay on dry land. If you feel pulled, let go.
  • Throw something that floats, like a life ring, a life jacket, a cooler or a beach ball.
  • Don’t go in. If there is no lifeguard, someone calls 911.
