"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.
