'Walk and Ride Safely' Resource Kit - Capital Health

Materials: top of an egg carton, yellow paint, black marker, 2 plastic lids from
juice or milk containers, magazines
Create your own School Bus: Cut the lid off the egg carton and paint it
yellow. Have the children cut people’s faces from magazines for gluing onto
the egg carton lid (optional: they may draw these on their own). When the
paint is dry, glue on the plastic lids (wheels), and the magazine cut outs.

• Design a poster/comic strip that goes with one of the scenarios presented in class;
post it in the classroom or in the school or community newspaper.
When booking a field trip, inquire into the possibility of booking the bus for an
additional half hour before and after the field trip and discuss the ‘Danger
Zone’ as well as the ‘About School Bus Safety’ bookmark for getting on the
bus and off again safely.
• Educator may order, free of charge, student workbooks entitled ‘Walk the
Talk’ from Alberta Transportation (www.saferoads.com).
