Road Safety Week is an annual event aimed at raising awareness. .
This Week is a good time to teach children in early years settings about how to be safe while on the road or near it.
Here’s how you can celebrate this week:
Discuss Road Safety: Start by discussing the basics of road safety with the children. You can talk about why it’s important to hold an adult’s hand when near the road, why we wear seat belts, and how to cross the road safely.
Craft Activities: Plan craft activities where children can make traffic lights, zebra crossings, or other road signs. This will help them recognize and understand the importance of these symbols.
Invite a Guest Speaker: You could invite a local traffic police officer or a road safety expert to come and talk to the children about road safety.
Outdoor Activity: If possible, arrange for a supervised walk around the school premises or in a safe, quiet nearby street. Children can practice what they have learned in a real-world context.
