Saftey tips and how to care for your walkie talkies
Just note that because walkie talkies work by tuning in to the same frequency as another device, anyone who is in the range may also be able to join the channel your child is connected to. So make sure kids understand not to talk to strangers and show them how to turn it off or switch channels but most importantly to tell a parent or guardian, in the unlikely case that ever happens.
There are ways to look after your walkie talkie to keep it working well for as long as possible. Walkie-talkies should always be stored in a cool, clean and dry place; keep them away from water. Dust and wipe them down regularly to ensure dust and dirt do not infiltrate them. When storing your walkie-talkies, ensure they are turned off, and the batteries are removed.
Walkie Talkie Games For Kids
- Hide and Seek: What child doesn’t love a game of hide and seek? Improve this simple game simply with walkie talkies. Give your children walkie talkies so they can direct the seeker to where they are hiding with clues. This is fun to play in a forest or woodland setting. To maximise safety, ensure young children are supervised by adults and keep older children in pairs when playing.
- Role-Playing Games: Children have the best imaginations. Walkie talkies can be a great way to make them feel adventurous! Maybe they are a secret agent, a lost explorer, or police or rescue worker.
- Scavenger Hunt: Take part in your regular scavenger hunts but split into teams and report your progress and findings to each other. There could be a prize at the end for the winning team.
