Promoting Road Safety To Kids Through Play

Road safety matters especially when it comes to kids. In 2014 the amount of children aged 5-7 that were injured on the roads was 292 and a further 10 were killed on Britain's roads. This to me is a scary fact but you'll be pleased to know that these numbers have significantly reduced compared to previous years and this is because of parents, teachers and carers making children and young people aware of the dangers on the road.

Children need to recognise the traffic which is around them, types of vehicles and how to spot them, how to cross the road in a safe manner. 


The Green Cross Code has always been a good way to promote these sorts of things but we are in a generation now where kids learn a great deal through play so something like a game to concentrate on could really help them take on board what we as adults are trying to tell them.
