A good activity to use (with parental permission) is to draw and cut out gingerbread man shapes. Then ask the children to colour in or mark with red crayon where they don't like being touched and green where they don't mind. I have used this many times and children will often mark their underpants area, feet (tickly!) in red. This is a springboard to gentle discussion on innapropriate touching. I will say to the children , "If you don't like someone touching you then it is OK to shout NO!. and tell Mummy ". This allows children to assert themselves and be aware of their ownership of their own bodies.
Also look at the NSPCC Stay Safe Code.
Hope this helps
