Step On, Step Off

Practice getting on and off an escalator safely with a grown-up

Category: Life Skills · Duration: ~5 min

1. At a mall or store, stand near the escalator and watch it first. "See how the steps move?" 2. Hold hands. "Step on with one big step — don't jump." 3. Stand still and hold the railing. "Feet stay in the middle, away from the edges." 4. At the top: "Big step off — keep walking!" Practice going both directions.

Tip

If they're nervous, take the stairs a few times first and try the escalator another day.
