This resource was created especially for young learners in PreK, Kindergarten, and first grade.

What do teachers think about Traffic Signs, Signals, and Songs and Rhymes?

We have to do a pedestrian safety unit every September. Sometimes it is hard to find activities and songs that preschoolers will enjoy and be engaged in. This helped me so much not only did I use it in the classroom I also sent it home to the parents too to be able to sing to them and carry the unit on at home.
