What Would You Do? Risk Scenarios

This activity is a great way to bring awareness to 5 of the top risks for teen passengers and drivers. The scenarios will immerse students in real-life situations, which they may face as drivers or passengers, challenging them to understand the consequences of their decisions without any actual danger.

No Need for Speed Bulletin Board

Bulletin boards in high-traffic areas provide you with a great opportunity to reach your peers. Use the “No Need for Speed” bulletin board resources provided in your resource kit to create a bulletin board that provides valuable information and starts a conversation about the negative effect speed has on car crashes and how teens can speak up for their safety.

STOP! Stack the Blocks Activity

This hands-on activity raises awareness about the dangers of speeding and helps show that the faster the speed, the more stopping distance is required. You and your peers will conceptualize the distance by stacking blocks to guess how many building stories it takes for a car traveling X miles per hour to stop to better visualize the longer stopping distances that are needed when traveling at high speeds.

Campus Walkability Tour

This activity will help your TDS team evaluate the walkability around the exterior of your school, looking to see how easy or difficult it is for you to safely walk around and to/from your campus, including getting to and from the parking lot and accessing neighborhood sidewalks beyond your campus. Knowing the walkability of your school can help determine where you should or shouldn’t walk and where changes or improvements can be made to make your campus safer.
