When they come the caution bump sign they should jump five times. When the come to the stop sign they should stop, look both ways and then start following the path again. When they come to the slow sign they should take five slow steps, and follow the direction of the arrows. Put the exit sign at the end of the path.

4. In class display the train shapes, windows, and labels on a table in front of your children. Let them pick out the colors they would like to use. Show them out to glue the window shapes, wheels, and labels on to the engine, cars, and caboose to make the display.
One of the most popular lessons I did was on the Ten Commandments. Each week I would give each child a train car and wheels cut from colored construction paper, and a small round sticker with the number of the commandment we were doing that week. The first car was the engine and the last, the caboose. I precut the cars and wheels, and wrote a simple version of the commandment on each car. They would tape or glue the wheels onto the car, choose the color of numbered sticker they wanted and stick it to the car. At the end of ten weeks, they each had a great little train to put up in their homes. It was so popular, that if a Sunday were missed, the children (or parents) would let me know which car they needed so they could have a complete set!
I made a train track background on the learning board (bulletin board) with trees and hilly tracks, etc. Each week they watched the train grow. It gave them a goal to reach for! Lyn Roberts

Roads and Traffic Signs Play
Set up roads on the floor with masking tape. Bring in small cars and trucks for the children to play with. Put up road signs at intersections. Demonstrate how the traffic signs are used.
Practice Obeying Rules Game
Make a big red card and a big green card. Instruct the children that when you hold up a green card they can take one step and if you hold up a red card they have to stay in one place. Play until the children end up at a designated line.
Rules at Home List
Ask the children what are some of the rules they have at home and write them on the board. When you are finished discuss why they have each rule.
Class Rules - Talk about class rules and make a list - talk to the children about the importance of rules in the classroom so that everyone will have fun and stay safe. Let the children make suggestions and write them down as they suggest them. When you are all done, take out three to five of the most important rules and write them down on a big piece of paper or on the board. Have the children draw pictures to illustrate them or have them make their own book of rules.
Follow the Leader
Use one piece each of red, green and yellow construction paper. Discuss briefly what a stoplight is, why we have one, and how important it is to obey the stoplight so you don't have a wreck. Have all the children stand up in a circle around the tables. They can march, skip, walk, whatever they want, until you hold up a red card, and then they have to stop where they are. Green they can go again, yellow means slow, etc. Play this a few times, and then sit back down to color in coloring sheets. Use only green, red and yellow crayons. From Bethany Davis
