Resources:
Large piece of drawing paper for each group
Markers/crayons/colored pencils
Matchbox cars
Items that can be used as road blocks, houses, people, etc.
Activities:
Have students work in groups to develop a list of bike safety rules and then an obstacle course that tests those rules. The rules can include riding with the traffic, walking your bike across the street, and wearing a helmet.
When students have completed their courses, have each group share their's with the class.
Wrap Up:
If space permits, you can set up a bike safety course for the students in the gym or on the playground. Have them walk through it instead of riding a bike. Include a worksheet and when they get to an obstacle, have them write on the worksheet what they would do.
