Ready steady go!

Children in Foundation took part in a special road safety theatre event this week.

This multi-disciplinary show created by A Line Art, combines arts and crafts with drama and music creating an interactive and fun way to discuss and investigate road safety. 

Ready Steady Go! was inspired by the need to teach young children the rules and regulations of the roads. By putting the children behind the wheel of a cardboard car, we will be teaching them about independent travel, the green cross code and investigating the basics of the highway code.

As each child enters the space they are given a cardboard car and a tool kit containing ‘colouring-in goodies’. They decorate their car using all the weird and wonderful materials whilst being entertained through storytelling, music, movement and clowning by 3 performers. But it doesn’t stop there! Having coloured-in their car, the children will be invited to take it through the Driving School, past a zebra crossing, through a green light, through the hazardous snow and even stopping to let an old lady cross the street. As they pass their driving test they can finally take their decorated cardboard car home with them.
