http://www.CodeRedRover.org
GRADE LEVEL: K-5

CONTENT:
This site, created by Lowe's Home Safety Council, teaches home safety in a fun, interactive way.
AESTHETICS:
CodeRedRover.org is very colorful and attractive. It is heavily dependent on the Flash plug-in for its activities, so it works best on a high-speed connection.
ORGANIZATION:
The bottom navigation menu, repeated at the top of internal pages, takes users to the main sections of the site.
REVIEW:
Let Rover the Home Safety Hound teach your students to make safe, smart choices in and around the home through games, activities, online contests, crafts, and do-it-yourself projects. Visit the Safety Zone to print a home safety checklist and template for creating your escape plan, to read about other kids who are home safety heroes, or to submit a story or artwork. Users will also find family projects and an online safety encyclopedia for answering your safety questions. Rover will take kids on a personal tour of his house as he challenges them to find all the safety hazards. Students won't want to miss the Games section. Parent and teacher sections are also included.
