Learning and developing skills to become a safe pedestrian is an important part of road safety education for primary school students.
Developing on our road safety workbooks featured in edition one, these activities reinforce the 'Stop, Look, Listen and Think' message to assist in developing the skill of crossing the road safely.
These free activity worksheets have been created to suit lower and upper primary students and encourage understanding of safe behaviour around the roads. They can be completed in sequence or individually.
