Playground Rules
Respect for Others:
Play Safely. Avoid pushing, tackling games, wrestling, kicking, fighting, blocking others’ activities, throwing rocks, sand, wood chips, equipment, etc.
Be Aware. Do not interrupt others’ games. Look before you leap. Watch out for children smaller or younger than yourself. Wait for others to finish their turn at something before you take yours.
Include others in your games and activities and consider their ideas during a game.
Follow the Rules. If you have a problem or a complaint that you cannot resolve for yourself, seek out an adult on duty for guidance. Listen to and follow the adult’s recommendations.
Respect for Materials, Tools and Equipment:
Use all playground materials, tools and equipment for what they are intended.
Slides: Do not climb up the inside or outside of any slide. One person should slide at a time and then move away from the base so that others may have their turn. Do not slide toys, rocks or sand down the slide.
Ladders: Avoid pushing, pulling and crowding on the ladders. Allow others to climb at their own speed.
Towers: Do not jump from towers. Do not throw items from the towers. Do not drop items onto another’s body from the tower.
Play ground Items: Avoid throwing items. Do not toss items out side of the play ground area. Do not intentionally misuse items or break toys. Notify an adult if an item is broken or in disrepair.
Respect for the environment:
Fences: Stay within the fenced area as directed by the playground supervisor. Avoid bouncing off of and climbing on the fences.
Bushes, Trees, Plants, Grass: Unless you are gardening avoid digging in, pulling on, picking at, and breaking off vegetation. Any digging of holes must be filled at the end of play time in an appropriate manner to avoid injury to others and yourself.
Cleaning up: Assist with putting play items away in their proper space at the end of the play session. Cover sand boxes at the end of each session.
Safety
Set a good example for other, smaller playground members. Something which might be safe for you might not be safe for others.
Shoes must be worn at all time on the playground.
Consequences
The Playground supervisors and volunteers are in charge of the playground. If someone on the playground is not following the rules the supervisor(s) may choose a consequence, such as:
Assigning a time-out
Returning the rule breaker to the Fellowship for the rest of the day
