About the activity

We know that your schools and nurseries are creative places and your pupils, staff and communities are bursting with ideas of how to get young London moving!

This is your chance to share your school’s own original road safety activity, different to anything else already listed..

Work with your school travel working group and colleagues to make a real difference to your school community's awareness of road safety.

Does your school have a road safety bear dressed in its own hi-vis jacket to encourage pupils to learn the green cross code? Could your pupils work together to create a giant montage in the playground displaying key road safety messages?
