| Bulletin boards in high-traffic areas provide you with a great opportunity to reach your peers. Use the “Real Heroes Wear Seat Belts” bulletin board resources, if included in your resource kit to create a bulletin board that provides valuable information and starts a conversation about the importance of buckling up. These materials are designed to be cut out and displayed on a bulletin board, window, or other high-traffic area on your campus. |
Items Needed
|
- “Real Heroes Wear Seat Belts” Bulletin Board materials*
- Stapler or tape
- Bulletin board, window, or wall in high-traffic area
*If included in your resource kit |
Steps
|
- Identify a location that students pass by frequently to post the “Real Heroes Wear Seat Belts” materials.
- Cut out bulletin board materials to be posted. A sample layout is provided but feel free to layout however you choose, making sure the educational information is correct.
- Promote the bulletin board by sharing seat belt-related facts during morning announcements.
- Plan to leave the bulletin board up 3-4 weeks to ensure all students see it.
- Take photos during the activity and share them, along with information on distracted driving, on your school’s social media channels and/or website.
- Complete an activity form to get All-Star credit.

Don’t Forget
|
| The goal of this activity is to have an easy to manage but educational activity that looks different from a poster to help students learn more about the importance of buckling up. This is also designed to help you start a conversation with your peers on how to speak up for their safety. |
Make it GREAT
|
- Display the bulletin board while completing the All-Star Seat Belt Unit.
- Plan a “Seat Belt Hero” day and take photos of students with their “seat belts” by the bulletin board to post on your social media channels to further promote the message of safe driving and tag @teensdriverseat so we can see your great work, too.
