It may be dull outside, but you can brighten up the evenings with some exciting after-dark activities. But before venturing into the darkness ensure that: * There is sufficient light to be able to move around safely.
* Playworkers can adequately monitor the whereabouts of children.
* Playworkers are mindful that some children feel anxious about the dark.
* Children know not to look directly into any light sources and not to point them in other people's faces.
