We had so much fun learning about street signs.  We made cars out of boxes and then we made street signs with craft sticks and craft paper.  The kids learned their colors and shapes and had fun taking turns driving around while the remaining kids were in charge of traffic control.  The kids also got a paper to take with them in the car that had many other street signs that they might see around the city.  They get to put a sticker on the sign when they see it while they’re driving in the car.

Annie my 5 year old was recording me, so sorry if it’s a little bumpy. And I’m not sure why it sounds like I have a lisp… I had to convert the file size so it wouldn’t take so long to load. I’ll try to add better video later, but for now… at least you’ll have something to work with.

This type of activity can also incorporate sign language.  Here are the signs for: Green, Go, Yellow, Slow, Red, Stop, Car, Bus, and Motorcycle.

You can also play red light green using the signs.
