Grade: 2
Sample Activities:
· TRAFFIC COP - For this activity, you need a large open area that has the capacity to provide numerous “intersections.” (If a natural area does not exist, use chalk or tape to design a city street model on the gym floor or playground.) Ask students: “What are some of the rules drivers must follow when on the road?” (Answers: speed limits, one way, stay to right). Acting as if they are cars, students walk the course, obeying the rules of the road. (Student-designed signs are helpful.) Students alternate as drivers and traffic cops. (The police officers flash traffic signs or direct traffic.) After students have self-navigated the course, present a series of commands (e.g., right turn, curve, green light [run], yellow light [jog], red light [stop]). Discuss the importance of following the rules of the road. Relate the rules to related sidewalk safety issues.
· PICK A PICTURE - Create two sets of flash cards: one set shows places such as a beach, playground, hallway, or busy street; and the second set shows specific movement skills such as run, skip, walk, or hop. Students match the place with the appropriate type of activity by responding to questions such as the following: “Is it ever appropriate to skip down the hallway? Should you run into traffic? a parking lot?” Discuss the student matches and help students distinguish between appropriate and unsafe movement experiences.
