Safe Crossing safety rules worksheet for children.

The image is a worksheet titled "SAFE CROSSING" from www.cleverlearner.com, designed to teach children about road safety when crossing the street. The task asks:
"What should you do when you are crossing the street? Circle the correct answer."

There are four scenarios, each with two options (one safe, one unsafe), and students must circle the thumbs-up (👍) for the correct, safe action and the thumbs-down (👎) for the unsafe one.

Let’s analyze each scenario:

---

1. Run vs. Follow the signs

- Image: A child running across the street.
- Options:
- ✔ Run → ✘ (Unsafe — never run across the street)
- ✔ Follow the signs → ✔️ (Safe — always follow traffic signals)

👉 Correct choice: Circle 👍 next to "follow the signs"

---

2. Look around vs. Listen to music

- Image: A child wearing headphones, walking.
- Options:
- ✔ Look around → ✔️ (Safe — check for cars, traffic, etc.)
- ✔ Listen to music → ✘ (Unsafe — distractions like music can prevent hearing traffic)

👉 Correct choice: Circle 👍 next to "look around"

---

3. Play vs. Walk

- Image: A child playing with a soccer ball on the crosswalk.
- Options:
- ✔ Play → ✘ (Unsafe — playing in the street is dangerous)
- ✔ Walk → ✔️ (Safe — walk calmly and attentively)

👉 Correct choice: Circle 👍 next to "walk"

4. Wait for the green light

- This section has a traffic signal showing a red hand (stop), so it's implied that the child should wait.
- But the actual text says:
- ✔ Walk → ✘ (Not safe if the light is red)
- ✔ Wait → ✔️ (Safe — wait for the walk signal)

Wait — the image shows a child standing at the curb, but the option says “walk” with a thumbs-up and “wait” with a thumbs-down? That seems reversed.

But looking closely:
- The traffic light shows a red hand (don’t walk).
- The child is waiting at the curb.
- So the correct action is to wait.

However, the worksheet lists:
- "walk" with 👍
- "wait" with 👎

That appears to be an error.

But based on standard safety rules:
- You should wait when the signal says stop.
- Only walk when the signal says go.

So the correct answer should be: Circle 👍 next to "wait", not "walk".

But in this version, the "wait" option has a thumbs-down, which is incorrect.

This suggests a possible mistake in the worksheet.

✔ Correction needed: The "wait" option should have the 👍, and "walk" should have 👎.

But since the task is to circle the correct answer, we assume the student should choose the safe behavior.

Final Answer Summary:

| Scenario | Safe Action | Correct Symbol |
|--------|-------------|----------------|
| 1 | Follow the signs | 👍 |
| 2 | Look around | 👍 |
| 3 | Walk | 👍 |
| 4 | Wait (not walk) | 👍 (but labeled as "wait" with 👎 — likely a mistake) |

---

Conclusion:

- Students should circle:
- 👍 for "follow the signs"
- 👍 for "look around"
- 👍 for "walk" (only if the signal allows it; otherwise, wait)
- 👍 for "wait" — this is likely mislabeled in the worksheet

⚠️ Note: The fourth box seems to have a printing or design error. The "wait" action is correct, but it’s marked with a 👎, while "walk" has 👍 — this is backwards.

✔ Corrected Answer: Circle 👍 next to "wait" and 👎 next to "walk" in the last box.

Teaching Point:

Always:
- Stop and look both ways
- Follow traffic signals
- Don't run or play in the street
- Avoid distractions like music
- Wait for the walk signal before crossing

✔ Final Answer: Circle the thumbs-up (👍) for:
- Follow the signs
- Look around
- Walk (if signal allows)
- Wait (should be correct, but label may be wrong — correct it!)

💡 Educational Tip: Use this worksheet to discuss why certain actions are unsafe and reinforce good habits.
