How to use this worksheet
Look at the first picture showing a travel behavior, like crossing at a crosswalk or wearing a seatbelt. Discuss whether the action is safe or unsafe, then have your child tick the safe choices and circle a thumbs up or thumbs down to show their judgment. Continue through the remaining pictures, talking through the reasoning behind each answer.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons
Extension activities
- •Discuss different road signs and their meanings during a walk or drive.
- •Create a pretend road with toy cars and act out safe crossing practices.
- •Read books about road safety together.
- •Practice looking both ways before crossing an empty parking lot or quiet street together.
Tips for parents and teachers
Encourage children to explain their choices out loud, which reinforces the reasoning behind each safety rule rather than just memorized answers. Reinforce the importance of road safety in everyday situations, like holding hands while crossing the street.
