Focus Factor

This activity can be used to learn about the dangers of distracted driving and how you can speak up as a passenger. This activity can be completed individually or as a team and is a quick and easy activity that requires minimal materials.

Student team with police officer.

Lock-In with Community Partnering

Work with a local business or your school to host a lock-in on one of the most dangerous nights of the year for teen drivers, such as graduation or homecoming. Find sponsors, like a local pizza joint to donate food and drinks.

Lunch Tray Decorating

Assemble/decorate disposable lunch trays with safe driving messages on them.

Report Card Messaging

Add summer driving safety information to student’s report card and send home on the last day of school.
