Things to do with grownups

• Go to a busy street comer. Watch the traffic for a few minutes. How easy is it to predict where the vehicles or bicycles will go? Watch the car drivers. Do they look left, right, and left again? Close your eyes. Can you tell where traffic is coming from by listening? What else do you hear?
• 2. Go to a busy street comer with 4 stop signs. Watch traffic for a few minutes. Ask the grown-up to explain the traffic rule about yielding the right-of-way.
• The law in your state may require that all bicyclists and inline skaters under a certain age wear helmets. Find out what the laws are in your community.
• Be sure you know the meaning of these big words; transportation, reflective, predictable, yield.
• Pick a place that you would like to visit. Figure out how many different ways you can get there. For example, is there more than one route you could take? Could you ride your bike? Could you walk and take a bus, then walk? Could you ride with a grown-up in a car to a train station and then take the train?
• Write a letter to a grown-up, or make a list of safety tips for them.
