Road safety for kids: look left and right, hold hands

Streets are fast and loud for a small child. Two Kids Safety sheets focus on crossing and walking near traffic.

What gugiboard shows

The crossing sheet shows stopping at the curb and looking left and right before crossing. The street sheet shows holding a grown-up’s hand on the sidewalk.

Red and green signals make stop and go easy to understand.

How to talk about it

Practice out loud: “Stop, look left, look right, hold hands.”

Turn it into a short song during walks.

What to notice while playing

The crossing sheet is the one to slow down on: the arrows and the eyes show left, then right. Say the words with the voice.

On the street sheet, notice whether your child looks for the held hand in the picture.

A two-minute practice at home

At your own curb, stop and do the full routine: look left, look right, then cross holding hands.

Play stop and go in the doorway: stop at the line, look, then move.

Safety in real life

Practice at real crossings, always holding your child’s hand.

Use car seats and helmets every time; Safe or Dangerous includes a helmet scene too.
