Which elements of the method are used, and how? |
☑ Learning in small groups – Members study the safety rules and work in the Q & A session together. They give active response during the game.
☑ My path, my pace – Members are encouraged to think more about whether the existing traffic rules are enough and effective in preventing accidents. Members try to give suggestions to improve the rules.
☑ Learning by doing – Members know more about traffic safety rules as well as the meaning of road signs. They will be more cautious when crossing the roads.
☑Connecting with my world – Members can improve their understanding of their community. For example, what signs can be found in roads or cycling trails? What are their meanings? Members can reflect on the limitation of existing traffic rules and give suggestions. |

How does the method give youth members a chance to take the lead? |
Members learn to protect themselves by following traffic rules. This is related to the issue of self-discipline. If members want to be a leader, they should follow the standards/ rules strictly in order to make sure the events start in a smooth way. |

How can you connect this activity to the values of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting? |
Members need to bear the sole responsibility to their decision/ behavior on the road. They learn to make the right judgement through the activity. |
