PSHE Quiz - Road Safety (Questions)

This KS1 PSHE quiz will teach children about the rules of road safety for when they are a pedestrian and a passenger so that they can make the correct decisions and keep themselves safe at all times.

It is very important that we keep ourselves and each other safe at all times. Road safety is all about keeping safe when using the roads, either crossing them on foot or travelling on them in vehicles.

There are rules that can be followed to help keep us safe - these are sometimes called the Green Cross Code.
