In this lesson, you will learn how to identify important traffic light rules that help keep everyone safe on the road. You will understand what each color of the traffic light means: red means stop, green means go, and yellow means be careful. You will also discover how to look for clues, just like Sheriff Labrador and his friends did, to solve a mystery. By the end of this lesson, you will know why it’s important to follow these rules and how they help prevent accidents, making you a safer walker or driver!
One day, Sheriff Labrador was walking across the street when something surprising happened. A motorbike zoomed by and almost hit him! But guess what? There was no one driving it! How strange!
Sheriff Labrador quickly called his friend, Mr. Pangolin, to help solve the mystery. Mr. Pangolin was also almost hit by the same motorbike. He was very scared and thought it might be a ghost motorbike!
Sheriff Labrador knew that every vehicle leaves marks on the ground. He looked around and found some tire tracks. “These tracks will lead us to the motorbike!” he said. So, they followed the tracks to find out what was going on.
As they followed the tracks, they met Mr. Turtle. “Can you help us catch the motorbike?” asked Sheriff Labrador. Mr. Turtle agreed, and they all went on a fun chase together!
Finally, they found the motorbike. But it wasn’t a ghost! It was Chameleon, who was hiding and riding the motorbike. Chameleon had broken the traffic rules, and Sheriff Labrador had to remind him to be safe.
Sheriff Labrador wants everyone to remember the traffic lights. They are very important for keeping us safe:
Whether you are walking or driving, always follow the traffic lights. This way, you can stay safe and avoid accidents. Remember, safety first!
Traffic Light Craft: Create your own traffic light using colored paper, scissors, and glue. Cut out circles for the red, yellow, and green lights, and stick them onto a cardboard tube or a piece of paper. Discuss with your family or friends what each color means and practice saying “Stop,” “Go,” and “Be careful” as you point to each light.
Neighborhood Safety Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood with an adult. Look for traffic lights and signs. Count how many you see and talk about what each one means. Can you find any places where people should be extra careful, like crosswalks or busy intersections?
Role-Playing Game: With your friends or family, play a game where one person is the “traffic light” and others are “cars” or “pedestrians.” The “traffic light” calls out “Red,” “Yellow,” or “Green,” and the others must stop, be careful, or go. This will help you remember the traffic light rules while having fun!
