As a follow up to the road network, try the following for classroom warm-up activities. The teacher can choose from the following ideas:
Traffic Lights, Pelican & Zebra Crossings
Red – stop whatever is happening
Yellow – walk or jog on the spot
Green - walk or jog around the area
Pelican Crossing – Standing on the spot flapping their arms like the wings of a bird
Lollipop Person – children hold their arm up in the air and say “stop” look around and if it’s safe tell each other to “cross the road”
Zebra Crossing – running on the spot as fast as they can (like a galloping zebra)
General Road Safety
Police Car – Children sit in groups of four and say “be baa be baa” 4 times (other change the numbers to suit number of children present)
Fire Engine – Spin around on the spot raising and lowering their arms
Right, Left or Stop – pupils change direction according to the command until told to stop
Breakdown - lie down and close their eyes (no talking, quiet time)
School Bus – children all form a long queue, hands on each others shoulders and walk slowly
School Zone – walk slowly looking right and left, stop count to 5 and repeat
Please feel free to suggest additional ideas that can be used as part of classroom warm-up activities.
