When we ride in a car, we need to be safe. A seat belt is like a special hug that keeps us safe while the car is moving. It helps us stay in our seats, even if the car stops quickly.
We should always put on our seat belts when we get into a car. It doesn’t matter if we’re going to the store, to school, or even to the swimming pool. Whether we’re going near or far, our seat belts should always be on!
Putting on a seat belt is easy! We just sit in our seat, pull the seat belt across our body, and listen for the “click” sound. That’s the sound that tells us we’re safe and ready to go!
We wear seat belts in the front seat and in the back seat of the car. Everyone in the car should wear a seat belt, no matter where they sit.
There’s a fun way to remember to wear our seat belts. We can sing a little song: “Clickety clack, put on your seat belt. Clickety clack, in the front and in the back!” This song helps us remember to always buckle up.
Wearing a seat belt is important because it keeps us safe. So, next time you get in the car, remember to put on your seat belt and enjoy the ride!
Seat Belt Art Project: Create a seat belt collage using colored paper, glue, and markers. Ask the children to draw a car and then use strips of paper to make seat belts for the passengers. Encourage them to decorate their cars and add passengers, making sure each one is safely buckled up. This activity helps children visualize the importance of wearing seat belts and reinforces the concept through creative expression.
Role-Playing Game: Set up a pretend car using chairs in the classroom. Have the children take turns being the driver and passengers. Each time they “get in the car,” remind them to put on their imaginary seat belts and listen for the “click” sound. This role-playing game helps children practice the routine of buckling up and understand its importance in a fun and interactive way.
Observation Challenge: Encourage the children to observe their family members the next time they get into a car. Ask them to notice if everyone is wearing their seat belts and to remind their family to buckle up if someone forgets. Later, have a discussion in class about what they observed and how they felt being a “seat belt safety officer.” This activity promotes awareness and responsibility in real-life situations.
