What are accidents?

An accident is when something unexpected happens that wasn’t planned.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy car on the floor. You push it really fast toward a block you were going to knock down later. Boop! The block falls over right then, and now you have to clean up the mess, even though you weren’t ready for it yet. That’s like an accident!

• It happens suddenly.
• You didn’t expect it.
• It might make a little mess or cause a funny situation.

Sometimes accidents are just small things, like spilling your juice or tripping over a toy. Other times, they’re bigger, like when you're riding your bike and suddenly someone runs into the street!

Accidents are like surprises in real life, not always bad, but definitely unexpected!
