The Children's Traffic Club in Scotland, which is run by the Scottish Road Safety Campaign, has developed a series of gym cards to raise children's awareness of crossing the road, playing safely and the dangers of traffic.
The cards, which refer to actions children can take to prevent accidents or alert them to dangers, were piloted at the Ardencraig Nursery School in Castlemilk, Glasgow. Nurseries and playgroups can now obtain them from their local road safety officers.
Ardencraig headteacher Elaine McGuinness said, 'They chose our nursery because we already do a lot of road safety work with the children. The cards refer to things like holding hands when crossing the road or doing up seatbelts. It's a fun way for the children to learn.'
