Streetwise Guys

Streetwise Guys is aimed at 8 to 14 year olds in primary and lower secondary. In particular, it targets children in the transition period from primary to secondary, when they are most at risk.

The website uses interactive games to educate young people about road safety in a fun way. It can be used in the classroom, while teaching road safety. There are curricular links to Information and Communications Technology and Health Education 5-14 National Guidelines.

Belisha, Sprocket, Amber, Bumper and Gutter (the dog) are the Streetwise Guys. They have been designed to be cool, funky and appealing to young people. You visit them first at their gang hut. Once inside the hut, you can find out interesting things about keeping safe. There are also games like ‘dog on the run’ and ‘on yer bike’.
