Safe Passage Teacher’s Kit Safe Passage is an award-winning educational film produced by the Corps of Engineers to teach water safety. The kit includes a curriculum of classroom activities and resource materials targeted for youth safety programs. Check out the new Safe Passage site by clicking here! You'll find puzzles and games from the Safe Passage water safety video! The five main topics developed are: swimming safety, boating safety, fishing safety, rescue do’s and don’ts, and safety around locks and dams. The 38-minute teacher’s version of the video tape has stops and module recaps in the tape to allow children to perform activities, to have discussion time, or to allow teachers to use the tape on multiple days as part of a week-long teaching unit.
