ASSISTANCE & DIRECTION LURES

A lure is when someone tries to trick you into going with

them when they know that you shouldn’t.

This week we are going to talk about two more lures.  The first one is the assistance lure.  Remember, good people know that it is not right to ask kids for help, so they would never ask.

Let’s practice.

Stranger – “Pardon me, but can you help me find my puppy?  I think he might be in the bushes over there but I’m too big to go in there.  Could you try?”

First, you should say “NO!” loudly.  Then you GO , which means you run away as fast as you can.  As you are running, YELL “Stranger! Stranger!”  Then TELL a grownup what happened. 

The next lure is called the direction lure. 

Should grownups ask kids for directions?  No. 

Let’s practice. 

Stranger – “Hello over there.  I’m looking for McDonald's.  Could you come over here a little closer and tell me where it is?” 

First, you should say “NO!” loudly.  Then you GO, which means you run away as fast as you can.  As you are running, YELL “Stranger! Stranger!”  Then TELL a grownup what happened.
