  • What is your favorite part of the city to visit, and why do you like it so much?
  • Can you think of a time when you used a crosswalk or saw a traffic light change? What happened, and how did it help you stay safe?
  • Imagine you are designing your own neighborhood. What would you include to make it fun and safe for everyone?
  1. Neighborhood Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood with a family member or friend. As you walk, try to identify and count the different parts of the city you see, like streets, sidewalks, and traffic lights. Can you find a bench or a monument? Talk about what makes your neighborhood special.

  2. City Map Creation: Use paper, crayons, or markers to draw a simple map of a city. Include streets, avenues, sidewalks, and some of the other parts of the city you learned about, like crosswalks and traffic signs. Share your map with the class and explain what you included and why.

  3. Traffic Light Game: Play a game of “Red Light, Green Light” with your friends. One person is the traffic light and stands at one end of the play area. When they say “Green Light,” everyone moves toward them. When they say “Red Light,” everyone must stop. This game helps you understand how traffic lights work to keep people safe.
