SUN SAFETY PLEDGE
Today I will be a SunSmart kid
and follow the five SunSmart rules.
I will play in the shade when the sun is hot.
At home, and even at school.
Today I will be a SunSmart kid
and follow the five SunSmart rules.
I will wear a big hat to cover my head
So my friends won't call me a fool.
Today I will be a SunSmart kid
and follow the five SunSmart rules.
I will wear a shirt that has
very long sleeves and long
pants so I can be cool.
Today I will be a SunSmart kid
and follow the five SunSmart rules.
I will wear sunscreen all over my skin
So it won't burn when I play in the pool.
Today I will be a SunSmart kid
and follow the five SunSmart rules.
Cool!
