The image shows children running on a playground with wet leaves covering a sloped surface. An educator is nearby but the ground conditions are difficult to see.
What’s wrong is the hidden hazard. Wet leaves mask slippery surfaces and uneven ground.
What should be avoided is allowing running in unstable conditions. The behaviour to model is slowing play, redirecting children, and adjusting activities based on surface safety.
