PROJECT Topic: Didactic game - layout for traffic rules “Road rules - must be followed” methodological development for life safety

Features of crafts

The main goal of such crafts is for children to understand the need for correct behavior on the roads and master the rules of the road (traffic rules). They can be done in kindergarten under the guidance of a teacher or at home with parents. Such crafts can be taken to school during thematic classes or used in games. The best creations are submitted to the competition.

There are 2 main categories of crafts according to traffic rules:

1. Subject and individual products: traffic light, road sign, figurine of a traffic controller, etc.
2. Compositions or plot-based crafts: city, crossroads, moving, moving along the street, etc.

The following technique is used in the work:

• drawing using colored pencils, felt-tip pens, gouache, watercolors, paints, crayons;
• applique made of colored paper, fabric, plastic and other materials:
• collage - a combination of appliqué with drawing, modeling, origami and other techniques using photos, illustration elements, natural and improvised materials;
• volumetric prototyping – gluing three-dimensional figures, modeling, cutting, etc.
• sewing, knitting and embroidery - crafts made from felt, fabric, threads.

Crafts according to traffic rules can be made from almost any material (paper, cardboard, plywood, plastic, fabric, etc.). Available materials are widely used (plastic bottles and cups, disposable tableware, old things and toys, wood elements and plant fruits). It is important to select creative material taking into account the child’s age and abilities. For example, paper and plasticine are suitable for children 2-4 years old. The first crafts should be very simple and accessible to the baby.

Traffic light from packages

The option is a little more complicated, but quite interesting.

Required:

• Bags (can be trash or cellophane)
• Scissors
• Plastic cover
• A thread

Progress:

1. You need to fold the bags into an even stack, carefully cut off the bottom and top from them to get even rectangles. Cut them into even strips.
2. Next, take a plastic lid and cut out two rings from it. We put them next to each other and wrap the polo with nets. Then we cut everything along the outer edge, push the rings apart and tie the pom-poms with thread. Trim the edges to make the pompoms even.
3. We should end up with three pompoms of different colors. You need to connect them together with a thread. And our traffic light is ready.
4. Very funny crafts can also be made from disks; you can crochet a traffic light, or you can simply make one from balls of thread. Much depends on your imagination, and there will always be enough available means.

Road signs

One of the most important areas is developing children’s ability to navigate road signs. They help to assess the situation on the street, and making such crafts allows the child to understand their meaning.

Simple crafts:

1. Stand. Ready-made road signs cut out from printed publications (for example, colored inserts for traffic rules) are glued onto a sheet of whatman paper. It is important that the child attaches the pictures himself and learns the names of the signs. Subsequently, the stand is used to test knowledge.
2. Drawn signs. For kids, you need to choose simple images (for example, “No passage”). In more complex drawings, the contours of areas of different colors and shapes are first drawn. If the child cannot yet do this on his own, then an adult helps him. Children independently paint the elements in the desired color with pencils or watercolors (gouache). You can use colored crayons.
3. Application. For such crafts, cut out the base of the desired shape (circle, triangle or rectangle) from white, yellow or blue cardboard. The elements of the sign are made of colored paper and glued to the base. For example, a sign prohibiting crossing the road is important for a child. A circle is cut out of white cardboard for it. A figure of a pedestrian cut out of black paper is glued in the center. A red paper rim is glued around the circumference, a red paper strip is attached, crossing out the black figure of a person.

To learn an important rule, it is important to captivate the child. The child must know where to cross the road. For the “Transition” sign, a rectangular base is prepared from white cardboard. In a sheet of blue paper the same size as the base, a triangle is cut out in the middle. The blank without the middle part is glued to the cardboard, forming a white triangular window in the center. It contains a figurine of a pedestrian and stripes of a “pedestrian zebra” made of black paper.

Making a paper traffic light

A very simple but interesting craft made using the appliqué technique. The shape of the traffic light is created from black cardboard. Three white circles are glued to one side. Colored signals in the form of dog faces will be created from red, yellow and green paper.

Cut out a square of paper and fold it diagonally. Fold in half again. Bend the upper corners of the resulting triangle down so that the ears are drawn. They can be long or short. For each muzzle, cut out circles for eyes from white paper.

Draw eyebrows and smiles according to the color of the traffic light. Red, yellow or green smiles should be appropriate.

Instead of cardboard, you can use packaging made from natural juice or milk, covering it with black paper.

Sophisticated crafts of road signs

More complex crafts can be used for games in the yard. The “Pedestrian Crossing” road sign can be made as follows:

1. As a base, a rectangle is cut out of a white plastic panel.
2. An image of the sign is downloaded from the Internet and printed on a printer (possibly in black and white) in the required size.
3. The printed picture is transferred to self-adhesive paper, from which a stencil is made. To do this, all areas that require painting are cut out, and the remaining part is glued to the plastic.
4. Acrylic paint is applied to the cut out areas of the stencil (blue for the edging and black for the central elements).
5. The stencil is removed after the paint has dried.
6. A plastic profile is fixed around the entire perimeter of the sign. It masks the cut of the panel and forms an even white border.
7. The workpiece is fixed vertically on a wooden strip or plastic pipe. For stability, a base (cross) is made at the bottom.

Crafts with a reflective element look impressive. This material can be purchased in the form of stickers, iron-on transfers, and tape. For the manufacture of road signs, the latter option with an adhesive layer is best suited. The tape is cut into pieces of the required length and glued as the border of the sign. After removing the protective film, such a craft will glow in the dark.

Using reflective elements in crafts

Reflective self-adhesive tape, which can be purchased in specialized stores, is best suited for these purposes. This tape is used for edging signs, and in the dark it will glow brightly.

If you bring such a craft dedicated to the topic of traffic to a kindergarten, the kids will be very happy.

Crosswalk

One of the main tasks of traffic rules is to teach a child to cross the roadway correctly. In this direction, crafts on the theme “Transition” play an important role. They include a pedestrian zebra crossing, a traffic light, and a corresponding road sign.

In a private home, country house, kindergarten or school, such a craft for children can be made in the yard. It is necessary to highlight the place where the child most often crosses the main, concrete or asphalt path. Here, markings in the form of white stripes (“zebra”) are applied directly to its surface with acrylic paint.

Traffic lights are installed on both sides of the crossing. They can be made in different ways. A simple option is to use plastic bottles with a capacity of 1.5-2 liters. You should choose a darker container (brown or black). The transparent bottle will have to be coated with black paint (varnish). 2 or 3 circles are cut out in the eggplant. In a pedestrian traffic light, 2 holes are enough, and in a car - 3. Opposite each hole, a light bulb from a flashlight is fixed, connected to a battery and equipped with a separate button to turn it on. The holes are covered with colored glass or other transparent material of the desired shade (for pedestrian traffic lights, red and green are chosen, and for automobile traffic lights, yellow is added). Using a button, the child lights the desired light bulb, allowing or prohibiting passage. The craft is decorated from the neck side and installed on the pipe. It can be dug into the ground or made portable.

Miniature city

A small city can even be assembled in the lid of a cardboard box. This composition includes several roads and sidewalks, houses, a school or kindergarten, and shops. It is imperative to create intersections and pedestrian crossings.

Master class on creating one of the districts of the mini-city:

1. A diagram of the neighborhood is drawn up on the lid of the box. The basis is 2 wide roads intersecting in the center of the composition.
2. The roads are formed from wide strips of black paper in the shape of a cross. Narrow black stripes are fixed parallel to them - sidewalks.
3. Three-dimensional houses are made from paper. Windows, doors, decor, and signs are glued to them. The most important facilities for the child are highlighted: kindergarten, school, store, playrooms, etc. The houses are fixed to the bottom of the box, forming neighborhoods.
4. Trees are made from twigs, toothpicks and plasticine and installed along the street and in courtyards.
5. It is advisable to allocate one of the areas for a park. Here you need to install trees, glue the surface of a small lake, and make attractions out of paper.
6. The road is being marked. A dividing strip is made from a thin white strip in the center. Near the intersection, “pedestrian zebras” are marked with small white stripes.
7. Crosswalks and intersections are equipped with traffic lights and the necessary road signs.
8. Cars are made from plasticine or paper. You can use small toy cars.

You can make several such crafts. They are put together to create a town. The roads must be connected to ensure the “passage” of cars throughout the mini-city.

Wall newspaper

A wonderful craft for visual propaganda – a wall newspaper for school. It should be completely dedicated to traffic rules. Photo 6 shows an example of a poster. It colorfully displays road signs and the most common situations on the road. To do this, a bright name is made on a sheet of Whatman paper, colorful comics and outlines of road signs are placed. It is important that the drawings consist of cheerful characters that can attract children's attention.

Crafts on the theme “Traffic Rules” perform an important task in ensuring the safety of children. When making them, the child receives maximum information about a specific episode. Ready-made crafts should become an element of a game that will allow you to learn the basic rules of behavior on the road. When creating them, not only kindergarten teachers and teachers, but also parents should take an active part.
