Learning Traffic Signs in English
As part of our English Lesson 3 Project in Unit 8, the students of Grade 4 combined language learning with road safety education.
The children created their own traffic signs and used them to practise the modal verbs can, can’t, must and mustn’t. Through this creative activity, they learned how to talk about rules, permissions and prohibitions in English.
The students made signs such as STOP, speed limit signs, no parking signs, pedestrian crossing signs, warning signs and animal crossing signs. Then, they matched each sign with a simple English sentence, such as:
You can cross here.
You can go straight.
You can’t ride a bike here.
You can’t turn here.
You can’t go over 50.
You must stop.
You must be careful.
You must watch for animals.
You mustn’t park here.
This activity helped the children understand that English can be used in real-life situations. At the same time, they practised important road safety rules in a fun and meaningful way.
The project ended with the creation of a colourful classroom poster, where the children’s signs were organised into four categories: You can, You can’t, You must and You mustn’t.
It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn, create, cooperate and stay safe!
Learn the rules. Stay safe!
