Medway Council's Safer Journeys team has developed a series of resources that are loaned out to schools and other organisations.
Street Feet: The Street Feet resource is designed to be used by three to seven-year-olds in a school hall or similar setting. It consists of road layouts with zebra and pelican crossings. Through role-play, it aims to develop the skills and awareness that young children need to cope with today’s traffic. See the link below for more details.
The ‘Virtual Learning Platform’: This resource provides current news, events and online games through an Intranet available to all schools in Medway.
Fresco interactive kit: This resource is designed to raise road safety issues and highlight the effect that travel choices have on health and the environment. A useful indoor activity that is centred around large interactive activity boards that challenge children’s knowledge.
Toucan pedestrian crossing kit: This provides children with the opportunity to practice using a pedestrian crossing in the safety of their own school. This scaled-down toucan crossing is an excellent interactive and fun way to teach children to identify safer places to cross and how to use them properly.
Banners: The team has developed a variety of banners – see link below for more details.
