Abstract

In the article authors show how to describe the main reasons of traffic accidents for preschool children. It is stressed that the safety of pedestrians depends on their compliance with the rules of conduct in the street. Children need to be familiar with the rules of the road in preschool age already. The earlier a child learns the rules, the more likely he will be able to maintain his health and secure his life. The authors give advice on how to teach children traffic rules in most effective way. Special attention is paid to practical skills that can be developed through active games during which children play with pleasure, and learn the rules of the game. The authors provide examples of active games designed to strengthen the knowledge of traffic rules in preschool age.
