Teacher, Yellow May has arrived!
Let’s take advantage of this month to work on traffic safety with Elementary School students in a fun and educational way.
The Importance of Traffic Education
The Yellow May campaign is essential to raise children’s awareness about traffic safety. Educating from an early age about rules and safe behaviors can save lives and help build a more conscious and responsible generation.
BNCC and Traffic Education
The Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC) highlights the importance of forming conscious and responsible citizens, and traffic education is a fundamental part of this process. In elementary school, some related skills include:
- (EF02GE03): Compare different means of transportation and discuss the risks and responsible use.
- (EF02GE12): Identify and discuss traffic rules and the importance of respecting them.
- (EF02GE13): Recognize traffic signs and understand their role in organizing urban space.
- (EF02GE14): Reflect on safe attitudes and behaviors in traffic and their importance in preventing accidents.
These skills help students develop a critical understanding of traffic and the importance of safe behavior.
Activities to Engage Students
