Resources to Support Teaching About Road Safety at Key Stage 1
This is an excellent website that can be used to support teaching children about road safety. It supports the National Curriculum for PSHE at Key Stage 1 which states that children should be taught about road safety and ways of keeping themselves safe from harm.
‘The Boy Who Didn’t Look For A Safe Place To Cross’ is an animated story highlighting the risks of not taking care when crossing the road and thinking about how to do this safely. It can provide an engaging stimulus for discussion about how children should cross the road and all the things that need to be thought about.
There are online games in which children must follow the Green Cross Code in order to virtually cross a road. This could be used by individuals, small groups or as part of engaging children at whole-class level to see whether they have understood the principles of road safety.
