These poems can help teach the children how to cross a street safely.
Crossing the street
Stop, look, and listen
before you cross the street.
Use your eyes and use your ears
before you use your feet.
Look to your left
then look to your right
and to your left once more.
You must be really careful.
That's what rules are for!
Traffic lights
Sometimes there is a traffic light
to help you cross the street.
Be sure to really check that light
before you move your feet.
Lights are sometimes green
and sometimes they are red.
Red's on top and green's below.
Stop and look before you go.
A red light means stop
and green means go.
Red on top means STOP!
When green below, you can Go!
