WHO in action

World Health • 46th Yeor, No. 1, January-February 1993 29 WHO in action The Safety Game for All Ages The new World Health Day game for 1993 is called The Safety Game for All Ages. It provides an opportunity to have fun, and at the same time to learn a lot about how to avoid injuries and their causes, whether they result from violence or from accidents, whether intentional or not. Based on the slogan for World Health Day, 7 April 1993 - Handle life with care; prevent violence and negligence- the game can be played by _two to five people using a dice and 39 cards. Each card has a useful suggestion written on the back. One says, "Reduce accidents by using knives safely: push the blade away from you, not towards you"; and another, "Electric sockets can be fatally attractive for little fingers. Make sure they are out of reach". Participants of all ages can play the game and learn at the same time; and they can also bring their own thinking and experience into the picture. This is why, at the bottom of the rules page, it is suggested: "The cards in this game represent only some of the situations that may lead to injury. Can you and your friends think of others?"
