Even the simplest rules of traffic are a big challenge for children, as they have a very limited ability to gauge the distance and speed of moving objects. As the most vulnerable traffic participants, they need our full attention: each year, more than 30,000 children are involved in traffic accidents on German roads. Together, the experts on children’s entertainment and traffic safety have created a brochure for kindergartens. Targeted at the kindergarten teachers, it contains suggested games, crafts and books for successful traffic safety training, and provides a fun way for children to train their senses, practice important rules of conduct and familiarise themselves with traffic signs.
“The safety of preschoolers in traffic is a big priority for us. Together with Super RTL, we have created a campaign that hones reactions and perception among our smallest traffic participants in a fun way,” says Hannelore Herlan, press spokeswoman for the Deutsche Verkehrswacht.
Educators can request the free brochure from Super RTL or download it from SuperRTL.de/verkehrstraining. Super RTL has also posted traffic safety related information and a prize giveaway on Toggolino.de.
