Lesson Plan
Roads and Hazards
Road safety is not instinctive or automatic, and children can be so focused on what they are doing that they don’t think about risks. They need to develop the road safety skills to cope with traffic and roads.
In this lesson, students identify hazards around roads by looking at pictures of different scenes. They then think about ways they can stay safe around roads by avoiding hazards.
This lesson supports:
- Identify people and actions that help keep themselves safe and healthy (VCHPEP059)
- Identify actions that promote health, safety and wellbeing (VCHPEP062)
