• Turn Safety Into a Game Show: Turn Randall’s adventures into a group activity! See who can catch hazards the quickest and win bragging rights as the ultimate safety star.

• From Game to Reality: After a round with Randall, stage your own “safety challenge” around your facility. Scatter mock hazards and have residents hunt them down. Who knew safety could be this fun?

• Simple, But Addictive: Easy to start, hard to stop! Randall’s mix of tasks keeps residents engaged, laughing, and learning—what more could you ask for in an activity?

3. Why Restorative Aids Will Jump In:

• Safety Skills, All Wrapped Up in Fun: Playing Randall the Safety Inspector helps residents pick up valuable life lessons. They’ll be mastering home safety without even realizing they’re learning!

• Builds Confidence: Helping Randall out helps residents feel more capable of managing their own spaces safely, reinforcing independence in everyday tasks.

4. How to Get Residents and Children Pumped to Play:

• Safety Showdown: Turn Randall’s missions into a challenge! See who can spot hazards the fastest and solve them right to earn points (or small rewards!).

• Decorate Your Dream Home: In the game, players collect money to buy items for their “home.” How cool is that? Let them show off their interior design skills and keep building the fun!

5. Real-World Fun, Inspired by the Game:

• Bring Safety to Life: After playing Randall the Safety Inspector, you can stage a “real-life hazard hunt” in your center! Use props to simulate small risks—like tripping hazards or spills—so residents can practice spotting them in a safe, supervised space.

• Create a Home Safety List: Get residents thinking about their actual homes. What hazards might be there, and what would Randall say? Creating their own safety checklist is a cool takeaway that prepares them for the real world.

With Randall’s help, your residents, members, and children will have a blast while becoming safety experts in no time. Whether they’re guiding Randall through fiery kitchens or checking for spills, they’ll be learning key life skills that help them stay safe long after the game is over.
