Mini Lesson
Roads have cars. Cars can go fast. You always cross with a grown-up and hold their hand.
🏠 The Life Skills Way (step by step)
- STOP: stop at the curb.
- LOOK AND LISTEN: look all ways. Listen for cars.
- WAIT: wait until no cars are coming.
- WALK: walk straight across. Hold your grown-up's hand.
🚸 Safe Road Rules
- CROSSWALK: use the crosswalk and the walk signal with your grown-up.
- WALK, DO NOT RUN: put toys and phones away, so you can look and listen.
- NO GAPS: never step out between parked cars.
Never cross the road alone. A grown-up is in charge. Always hold their hand. If a ball rolls into the road, let it go and tell your grown-up.
