Sample questions
A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.
When should a child take medicine?
- When an adult or doctor gives it
- When you feel ill and take it yourself
- When it looks like medicine mum gave before
Read the explanation
Only when an adult or a doctor gives it.
What should be done with medicine past its date?
- Keep it for later
- Do not take it, and dispose of it properly
- It is fine if only just expired
Read the explanation
Do not take it, and dispose of it properly - it may not work, and may do harm.
What about bathroom cleaner?
- Dangerous only if it gets in your eyes
- Safe if diluted with water
- A dangerous chemical, never swallow or sniff it
Read the explanation
It is a dangerous chemical: never swallow or inhale it, and keep it out of children's reach.

Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Use medicines safely and recognise dangerous substances: take medicine only from an adult or doctor, never take expired medicine, toilet cleaner is a dangerous chemical, what to do if a chemical is swallowed, the harm of smoking, and second-hand smoke.
What's in the worksheet
6 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each - Children take medicine only when an adult or doctor gives it - Expired medicine: do not take it and dispose of it properly - Toilet cleaner is a dangerous chemical, never swallow or sniff it - Swallowed a chemical: tell an adult at once and call 1669 (distractor: make yourself vomit) - Smoking damages the lungs; second-hand smoke is smoke breathed in by non-smokers
How to use it in class
Use in the medicines and drugs unit; about 6 minutes. - Read questions aloud; some options are long for Grade 2 - For question 2, bring empty medicine boxes and let children find the expiry date - For question 6, be sensitive to children with smokers at home; frame it as self-care, moving away from smoke, not blaming parents - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Question 4: 'make yourself vomit first' seems most sensible to children, and some adults believe it; explain corrosive substances burn the throat again on the way up - Question 1: 'when it looks like medicine mum gave before' tempts children who remember pill shapes; stress that look-alike pills can be different medicines - Question 6: 'smoke from the second puff' is a literal reading of 'second-hand'; explain the term clearly - Question 3: 'safe if diluted with water' sounds scientific, so some children pick it
