Events at the school according to traffic rules were held at all times. You can understand why. After all, they are aimed at familiarizing students with the rules of the road, road signs, traffic controller gestures, traffic signals. It is these activities that help children develop street behavior skills, knowledge about traffic safety, responsibility, discipline, activity and attention. You can't do without them. Therefore, it is worth talking in more detail about how to conduct them and what to follow when drawing up a plan.
Initiation into pedestrians
What extra-curricular activities should be at school according to traffic rules? Fascinating, interesting and unusual. After all, they are not included in the school curriculum, which means they are not lessons. Therefore, the entertainment aspect is required, otherwise the students will not be able to captivate the topic.
Therefore, the holiday of initiation of first-graders into pedestrianswould be a great idea. The purpose of this event is to familiarize kids with elementary traffic rules through contests and games. The tasks are put forward as follows:
- Learning traffic lights and the simplest rules for crossing the road.
- Development of dexterity, attention, speed and interest in traffic rules.
- Educating diligent walkers.
Such an event can be held in the format of an interactive performance with a script. And for the role of the main characters to appoint Traffic Light and Zebra. By the way, since it is now customary to hold events with parents on traffic rules at school, they can be instructed to perform these heroes and find interesting puzzles. By the way, they are best able to explain to children the importance of “friendship” with traffic lights and traffic rules in a playful way. Suitable riddles:
- Three eyes - three orders! Red is the most dangerous! (answer: traffic light).
- What light tells us: "Come in, the way is open"? (answer: green).
- The driver will tell everything, he will indicate the correct speed. By the road, like a beacon, good friend … (answer: road sign).
It is worth carefully considering the scenario of such an event - it can be diversified with games, skits, contests, dialogues, etc.
Classroom
In this format, events are most often held at the school according to traffic rules. However, this is a good start, because during the class hour the teacher gives the children information for them to listen to and learn. Only after that you can arrange quizzes and games. But still, the class hour should not be entirely in the format of a lecture. game elementneeded.
Let's say the theme of the event is road signs. After the introductory part, the teacher can invite the children to assemble the mosaic. He must give them a pre-prepared "puzzle" - mixed parts of cut road signs. Children, divided into teams, must collect them. To do this, they will need an A4 sheet and glue to secure their puzzle. After they complete the task, the teacher will post the results on the board and explain in an understandable way the meaning of each sign collected by the students.
Substantiation of the topic
It is mandatory for every class hour. It is very important to justify the chosen topic for kids - the teacher must correctly explain why they are considering it. Naturally, it is chosen because the road is a place of potential danger, where dozens of pedestrians die every year - either because of their own inattention or because of the negligence of drivers.
How to explain this to young children? Definitely not in words - kids need visibility. But in any case, it is also impossible to include demonstrative videos with accidents, this is already clear. There is an alternative - a colorful educational cartoon called "Aunt Owl's Caution Lessons." Each episode focuses on a specific situation that explains in a playful, kid-friendly way the importance of being careful and the consequences of not heeding the advice. There is also a story about traffic rules. It can be offered to students for viewing after the introductory part of the lesson. BUTthen start the lecture.
Organizational moment: quiz
A week of traffic rules at school rarely does without it. Quiz-type activities should be held after the class hour on the topic of the rules of the road, so that children can test their knowledge gained during the lecture.
To make the game interesting, you need to draw a large field on the board, dividing it into four squares. Each of them will correspond to a certain area of knowledge. For toddlers, it's better to make them as follows:
- Road markings and traffic signals.
- Rules for crossing roads and streets.
- Road signs.
- Obligations of passengers.
In each field there should be as many sheets of questions as there are teams of students. They will need to be pre-divided and told so that the children choose a captain. In the future, he will go to the board and select sheets from the blocks. Each of them should have three questions. The “price” of one correct answer is 5 points. You can give three minutes to solve one sheet. After the time has elapsed, the children take turns reading out the answers and giving questions - the teacher at this moment puts the results on the board. At the end of the game, when all the sheets are sorted out, all points are calculated and the winner is determined.
Quiz questions
They should be such that children can master them. The teacher should prepare questions for this event at the school according to traffic rules in advance. Here, for example, which ones will become suitable for the pro blockroad markings and traffic signals:
- Where are people allowed to cross the street?
- What signals does a pedestrian traffic light give and what do they mean?
- How and where should people walk down the street?
- How is the pedestrian crossing marked on the roadway?
- Why is it forbidden to walk on the roadway?
Such questions can be included in the quiz. By the way, when conducting this event at a school according to traffic rules, it is recommended that the teacher ask the responding team why they answered that way. Explaining to the students will help to understand whether they have learned the rule or not.
In the block about road signs, you can enter the following questions:
- What does a no-pedestrian sign look like?
- What informational signs do you know?
- What groups are they divided into?
This is just an example. The most important thing is not only to formulate questions clearly, but also to make them informative and relevant to the topic.
Word games
A teacher who is developing an activity on traffic rules for an elementary school should not have any difficulties in selecting exciting tasks that can activate the knowledge gained by children during the classroom.
Take, for example, the game called "It's allowed - it's forbidden." Its principle is as simple as possible. The teacher starts a sentence that imitates some action, and the children complete it, thus giving an answer. Here is an example:
- Playing on the pavement… (forbidden).
- Walking on the sidewalk…(allowed).
- Running a red light… (forbidden).
- Walk through the underpass… (allowed).
- Jump over the fence to cross the road, because it's too lazy to go to the zebra… (forbidden).
- Crossing the road at a green light… (allowed).
If children shout out the correct answers, it means that they have learned the lesson they learned earlier. Wrong? This means that the teacher needs to pause the game and ask why the children think so. And then explain that they made a mistake, and repeat the rule in a more accessible language. Then re-voice the question from the game in order to make sure that the children finally understand the rules. In fact, such an extracurricular activity on traffic rules in elementary school brings good results, as it provokes collective interaction.
For high school students
Well, it's clear how to conduct traffic rules in elementary school. Now it is worth talking about the format in which they should be organized for students in higher grades. But first you need to define goals and objectives. Most often, such events are held in order to:
- To develop students' real understanding of road safety.
- Develop their ability to find the least risky path from home to school and back.
- To bring them more detailed ideas about the rules of the street and the road.
- Educate the right, respectfulattitude towards its participants.
- To form a sense of civic responsibility for their behavior on the road.
If the activities on traffic rules in elementary school should be carried out in a soft and playful way, then in the case of middle school students, more information is needed. It should be noted that ¾ of all accidents (including those without victims), according to statistics, occur with children. On the board, for clarity, you need to put the following reasons why this happens:
- Crossing the roadway in the wrong places.
- Disobeying traffic lights.
- Walking on the roadway (if sidewalks are available) or playing on it.
- Inattention to the situation and inability to look around.
During the lesson, the teacher will have to convey to the children that caution, discipline and compliance with traffic rules (both pedestrians and drivers) are the basis of safe movement.
Diversity in learning
It's worth noting that a school traffic plan can be very interesting and include more than just class hours, quizzes and games. There are plenty more options. And during the year it is recommended to translate into reality a few of them.
You can arrange walks around the city with schoolchildren, explaining the rules of the road in parallel. Only this applies, rather, to the category "Events with parents according to traffic rules." At school, a teacher can cope with thirty children, but during a walk you will need "helpers" in the formother adults. However, it is worth returning to the topic.
After the lectures, you can give the children a task - to design a stand according to traffic rules. This is a creative and interesting work, besides, the result will then be hung in the lobby, and everyone will be able to appreciate it, which also often motivates children.
As part of a literature lesson, you can give students a homework assignment - to learn the "Road Alphabet" in verse. Not all, of course. Simply everyone will choose one poem and learn. And in the next lesson, everyone will speak and listen to each other.
Often, the leadership of an educational institution, drawing up an action plan for traffic rules in elementary school, decides to hold a drawing competition on the topic “Rules of the road are our true friends!”. This is the same good idea as in the case of the notorious stand. Usually, at the end of the competition, all works are made into an exhibition, and for schoolchildren there is a tour of it with parallel explanations from the teacher. A good combination of visibility and information content.
And for students from the 5th to the 9th grade, a practical lesson on first aid is suitable. As part of such a useful lesson, children will be able to learn the basics that will definitely not be superfluous.
Intellectual games
Such events are held at the school according to traffic rules for high school students. The purpose of the intellectual game is to identify and develop the intellectual and cognitive abilities of adolescents, as well as expand their horizons.
Everything passes in the classic format. The guys are divided into teams, sit down fortables, on each of which there is a bell. The facilitator reads the questions and answers. In order to voice the correct, in the opinion of the team, version, the guys should consult. Whoever first notifies the host with a bell - he answers. If the version is correct, a point is scored. If the answer is wrong, the word is passed to another team.
Questions could be:
- Which group of people are road users? Options: pedestrians, drivers and passengers, or all of the above (the correct one is the last one).
- Which road element does not exist? Options: parapet, curb, ditch (correct - first).
- What is the difference between an overpass and an overpass? Options: height, width, length (correct - last).
- What is a viaduct? Options: a tunnel in the mountains, a bridge across a gorge, or a word that is not related to the topic (the second one is correct).
- What is the name of the road covered with asph alt? Options: highway, highway, street (the correct one is the second one).
Questions, of course, need more. The level of difficulty should also be different. If you plan to include voluminous questions with long answers in the game, then it will be required that the facilitator be accompanied by visualization. Duplication of sound on the screen, for example (implemented through the usual pre-prepared presentation and projector).
Such extra-curricular activities for traffic rules at school are especially popular, as they contain an element of rivalry.
Presentation
Their trainingcan also be included in the action plan for traffic rules at school for high school students. Here the principle is the same as in the case of kids preparing a poem from the “Road Alphabet” for a lesson. Only students are given topics for short presentations, which they prepare on their own.
They can be assigned more serious tasks. Topics may include driver responsibility on the road, unregulated pedestrian crossings, traffic in residential areas, speed limits, etc. The oldest (11th graders) can prepare a presentation on road accident victims, statistics, the most shocking cases.
And also, since now many people immediately after school (or even while still studying in it) go to get a license, you can organize a lesson for future drivers. Paying, of course, great attention to speed limits. For clarity, you can make a selection of video materials - videos with test drives, which show the process of checking a car for a safety level. This process involves accelerating the test car to a certain speed, at which it crashes into a wall. There is a doll inside. Such videos will clearly show students that high speed is not a way to get adrenaline, but a high risk.
Well, as you can see, the names of traffic rules at school are very diverse. Games, quizzes, class hours, exhibitions, walks, presentations… there are enough ways to convey to students the importance of traffic rules. The main thing is the competent approach of the teacher, the support of the leadership and the interest of the students. And then the plan of events for the week of traffic rulesat school will be carried out with success.
