«Preventing children accidents»

Accidents is the most important health problem for children and young people.

Particularly in recent years children's accidents have become an epidemic.

But the confrontation is feasible and the epidemic can be brought under control, as shown by the experience of other countries that have implemented successful prevention programs.

Therefore we have incorporated in the education of children of our school, within the flexible zone, in a health education program with the subject "care of my body“, the subsection "prevention of children's accidents“

Namely:

We have read the book: «Oh it Hurts»and on this occasion we talked about the danger hiding in:

the fire

sweets

the electricity

height

medications

insects

We read the book: "My friend the bicycle"

and we talked about:

Driving behavior of the cyclist.

The necessary equipment for the cyclist.

Proper condition for his bike.

So the fun of a nice walk with the bike, be combined with

the safety of the child.

And we painted the bicycle and the traffic signs.

We looked inside a book traffic signals

and we categorized signals into:

Prohibitive.

Those warning us.

Those that give us information.

At the end the children have been invited to recognize them.

Also on the Internet:

We played educational games and we have seen animations with the theme:

Road safety.

Using belt in the car.

Our exit from the car from the right side.

And our proper behavior on the pavement.

We also saw an episode of the children's cartoon, Little Nicholas on road behavior of a cyclists.
