A child can learn a lot about road safety through play. It may be something as simple as identifying traffic or learning what a road is but these basic ideas are so important and necessary before a child can learn to cross the road safely.
There is a very helpful website with resources for all Key Stages from the Department for Transport Explore education resources – THINK!.
For more information or advice please contact road.safety@cambridgeshire.gov.uk putting Pre-School enquiry in the subject area.
The main messages to get across to pre-school children are:
- Always go out with a grown up and always hold hands.
- Stop look and listen for traffic.
- Roads are for traffic, pavements are for people.
