Aims and objectives

concept that children need to hold onto something safe when they
go out onto the pavement or road and they should not let go until
they are in a safe place.
Previous knowledge
No previous knowledge is required for this activity.
In the classroom
This resource is designed to help parents teach or remind children
that they need to hold onto something safe when they go out onto
the pavement or road. It is also reminds children that they should
not let go until they are in a safe place.
The best option is to hold hands. The other ways, such as holding
a pushchair or an item of clothing result in less supervision, and
should be approached with care. The parent/carer should position
themselves between the child and the kerb.
This is an instructional activity for both parents/carers as well
as children. If used with an interactive whiteboard in the classroom,
pupils can engage in discussion which will help reinforce the learning.
