My Body, My Rules Verse 1 We have rules at home each day, At school and when we play. We also have Body Safety Rules To help us on our way. Most people are kind and caring, But sometimes people can be tricky too. That’s why we learn these safety rules, So we’ll know just what to do. ⸻ Pre-Chorus We don’t have to feel afraid, Just learn what we should do. Body Safety Rules are here To help look after you. ⸻ Chorus My body, my rules! Big voice, strong choice! If something isn’t right, I’ll use my voice! Body Safety Rules, I’ll learn them every day. They help me stay safe In every kind of way! ⸻ Verse 2 Let’s make my Circle of Trust With Mum or Dad today. We’ll choose four people I can tell If something’s not okay. If someone breaks a safety rule, Or I don’t know what to do, I’ll find someone I really trust— They’ll help me through. ⸻ Verse 3 Another rule we need to know, Let’s learn it from the start. Our bathers cover private parts, So know their proper names by heart. Knowing the right words to use Can help us if we need. That’s another Body Safety Rule To help keep us safe indeed. ⸻ Verse 4 Some surprises make us smile, They don’t last very long. But secrets that make us worried Should never stay alone. If a secret makes you scared, Confused or not okay, Tell someone in your Circle of Trust Right away today. ⸻ Verse 5 Most people are kind and caring, But some don’t do what’s right. If someone asks you to break the rules, Or keep things out of sight… If they say, “Don’t tell Mum or Dad,” Or ask you not to share, Walk away and tell someone safe— There are people who will care. ⸻ Verse 6 Safe grown-ups look after kids, That’s the way it should always be. If a grown-up asks a child for help With private things secretly… That’s a Body Safety Rule. You don’t have to stay. Walk away and find someone safe, Tell them right away. ⸻ Bridge If your tummy feels uneasy, Or something’s not quite right, Those can be your warning signs— Listen to them every time. Stand up tall, use your voice, You always have a choice. “No!” “Stop!” “I’m telling now!” Big voice, strong choice! ⸻ Final Chorus My body, my rules! Big voice, strong choice! If something isn’t right, I’ll use my voice! Know the rules, Speak up today. Body Safety Rules Help keep us safe every day!
