Traffic Light Craft: Create your own traffic light using colored paper or craft materials. Cut out circles of red, yellow, and green paper. Glue them onto a cardboard tube or a piece of paper in the correct order. Discuss with your family or friends what each color means and practice saying “stop,” “get ready,” and “go” as you point to each color.
Road Sign Scavenger Hunt: Next time you go for a walk or a drive with your family, look for different road signs. Try to spot a stop sign, a school zone sign, and any other signs you learned about. Count how many of each sign you see and talk about what each one means. You can even draw the signs you find in a notebook!
Role-Playing Safe Crossing: Set up a pretend road in your living room or backyard using tape or chalk. Take turns being the pedestrian and the car. Practice crossing the “road” safely by looking both ways and waiting for the “green light” to cross. Discuss why it’s important to use crosswalks and follow pedestrian signals.
