Modelling Traffic Lights

September - October
"Modelling Traffic Lights" involves creating a simple
representation of traffic lights to help children understand
their function and importance in regulating traffic and
ensuring safety. This activity will introduce children to the
concept of traffic control and basic road safety rules in an
engaging and hands-on way.

Objective

• To teach children the basic functions of traffic lights (red for stop, yellow for slow
down, and green for go) and their role in road safety.

Instructions:

Materials Required:

• Red, yellow, and green construction paper or colour paper


• Black construction paper or cardboard (for the traffic light base)
• Glue sticks
• Scissors (safety scissors for children only under teacher’s supervision)
• Markers or crayons
• Traffic light template (optional)
• Popsicle sticks (for the traffic light pole)

Before the project:

• Provide traffic light templates for children to trace and cut. The teacher should help
children to cut the circles (red, yellow, and green) from the construction paper.
• Help them cut black construction paper or cardboard into rectangles to serve as the
base of the traffic lights.
• If using Popsicle sticks, have them ready to be used as the traffic light poles.
• Gather the children and explain what traffic lights are and why they are important.
• Show them real-life pictures or a short video of traffic lights in action.
During the Project:

• Give each child a black rectangle base (traffic light base).


• Have the children glue the red circle at the top of the black
rectangle, the yellow circle in the middle, and the green
circle at the bottom.
• Allow the children to decorate their traffic lights with markers
or crayons if desired.
• Attach the traffic light base to the Popsicle stick or paper
towel roll using glue or tape to create a stand.
• Walk around to assist the children with cutting, gluing, and
assembling as needed.
• Encourage them to talk about the colours and what each one means while they
work.

After the Activity:

• Once the traffic lights are complete, have a discussion about


the meaning of each colour and how traffic lights help keep
everyone safe.
• Create a display area in the classroom to showcase the
children's traffic light models.
• Appreciate children for their creativity in modelling traffic
lights.

Extension Activity:

• Organize a simple role-playing game where children can act out being cars or
pedestrians and follow the traffic light signals.
• Use the models they created as props during the role-playing.
