The Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program is sponsored by the National Rifle Association and used by schools, law enforcement agencies and other organizations concerned with the safety of children. Materials are available free or for a nominal charge to schools, law enforcement agencies, youth groups and civic organizations. Three different levels are offered, each tailored for a specific age group.
Level 1. Preschool through first grade. Includes a motivational workbook written in an easy-to-understand rhyme.
Level 2. Grades 2 and 3. Uses simple activity books to reinforce Eddie's safety message.
Level 3. Grades 4 to 6. Includes activity books designed for older children.
All three levels include:
An in-service video is also available to school systems adopting the program.
Young children must learn that guns are not toys, and they must know what to do should they find a gun left accessible to them. Although handgun accidents account for less than 0.5% of all childhood deaths, the NRA has developed the Eddie Eagle program to help prevent the loss of young life. The National Rifle Association urges you to share the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program with children everywhere. Together, we can help give kids the knowledge they need to avoid accidents and prevent tragedy.
