Early: Road Safety in Comenius Kindergarten

"Now you are only allowed to the red, orange and green dots appear," Ferdinand instructs the children in Comenius Kindergarten, "just as the color sequence of the traffic lights is." The full-time police officer in safety vest is now in voluntary capacity as an employee of the German traffic on the road and leads to the children exercises for traffic education by. The little ones makes it visible fun, the friends always fit exactly to that the feet also indeed enter the correct color plates. Who occurs a blue dot accidentally, is immediately warned loudly of the group.

Concentration and coordination exercises his colleague on that day, Michael Ebbing, with the children in the outdoor area. Ebbing, his character also active in the service of the police, has staked out a course and painted a crosswalk with pedestrian crossing. The children wear reflective vest ride the "road" to the two- and three-wheelers and must be careful to stop at the crosswalk and let the pedestrian cross the street. Again and again they find pleasure in causing small rear-end collisions. One child brakes, the other crashing of its predecessor - and laugh.

It takes a lot of empathy on the part of volunteers to reach out to the children and to provide them with the necessary knowledge on the road as early as possible. At the present time children spend their free time often watching television or computer instead of playing outdoors. Some move confidently through the course, while others need a little time to "warm up". Children, who move in their spare time, are on the road less at risk than others, it is also known in the German road. Spontaneous stop, dodge, complete with the scooter skill exercises, dodges - all these movements, when they are playfully taught and trained, act as safety reserves in a dangerous situation when quick reactions are required.

In other exercises it comes closer to the children, the issue of safety in the dark. Reflective stripes on clothes can, especially in the approaching dark season, save lives. If children are with vests or flashy extras dressed to school on the road, they can be detected faster and better on the road. About 80 kindergartens were contacted by the two volunteer’s county far, the time needed for such a Road Safety Day is not to be underestimated.
