BMW: Safe on the Streets
Here is a site filled with road safety information for children 7-11 years old. The section for pupils has tips on being seen outside, how to ride bicycles safely, how to stay safe in the car, and what to do when walking along the road. In addition to the tips are several interactive activities for each theme. A few are matching games, some are memory games, and many involve moving pictures around a map. Half the fun of this site is listening to Ollie the Owl lecturing in his British accent. Besides the extensive section for children, there are sections for teachers with a teacher’s guide and for parents. Although the site is constructed for school curriculum in Great Britain, the information in universal.
