Road Safety Activities and Games

Road Safety for KS1 Children

Teach your children about Road Safety with the help of our exciting range of Road teaching resources.

Ideal for KS1, here you’ll find all you need, from road sign puzzles to crossing safety word searches. Our collection of Road Safety Activities can help engage your children in learning the importance of Road Safety, especially during Road Safety Week.

The Safe Road Crossing Sequencing activity is a great way for your KS1 children to remember road safety and the Road Sign Puzzle is a fun way for your children to begin recognising road safety signs.

Our collection of Road Safety Worksheets are also a fantastic way to check how much your children understand about road safety, and what can be improved.

Fun and Engaging Road Safety Activities for the Classroom

It is easy for children to become bored and distracted when learning about important things such as safety. That's why we make our Road Safety teaching resources a little bit different!

We’re here to give you a hand in keeping them engaged and excited when learning about Road Safety in KS1. This collection of Road Safety games and activities is great for KS1 children as the activities provide a helpful visual aid to assist in helping your children understand terms they may never have heard of before.

They are bright, colourful, interactive and can be applied to real life.

Ideas for Getting Started with our Road Safety Games for Children

Get started with our Road Safety Maze game which gets children to plot a safe route to school from home by going via the safety features like zebra crossings.

This Road Sign Matching game is a way of teaching the different road sings to children - what they look like and what they mean to drivers. It will help children to become aware of and understand the roads and pavements. For another dimension - ask children to spot these signs when they’re out in the car with family. Giving them a bingo style card of what to look out for will get them used to looking about them on the roads and will help them understand how drivers might behave - long before they are drivers themselves.

If you’re looking for a Road Safety game for the whole class to do together then try this multiple choice Road Safety quiz for the interactive whiteboard. Children could answer in teams - expand the challenge by including extra tasks like the fastest to sort the Matching Cards, or the first to plot a safe route through the maze. The teams could nominate a team member for these additional challenges.
