No Brainer Card Game

The objective of this activity is to help students learn about pedestrian and biking safety and to rehearse scenarios with peers. The card game includes scenarios of unsafe circumstances on the road for peers to discuss theoretical scenarios from the cards picked and decide what they would do and why.

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 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.

Let’s Talk… Speeding

This activity will help you facilitate a guided discussion with your peers to address their attitudes and behaviors around speeding and starts a conversation about the negative effect speed has on car crashes and how teens can speak up for their safety.

Be a Leader, Not a Speeder 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.
