__Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions__:
Imagination field trip to the busiest road each child can think of. Should you cross this road? Would it be okay to cross this road with a mom or dad? Second imagination field trip to the road outside each child's house. Could you cross this road? Then do a think aloud about what to do when you get to the road to cross it. "I need to: Stop--put your hand out in front of you in a stop sign Look--move your head from left to right like you are looking both ways Listen--cup your hands around your ears Walk--move your arms like you're walking" Talk about where an appropriate place to cross the street is.

__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
The kids join you in the motions of Stop, Look Listen, Walk.

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson__:
Students find a spot in the room and pretend that they are about to cross a street. They "Stop, Look, Listen, and Walk".

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
Take the kids outside to the parking lot. Find a part that looks like a small street and practice 'crossing the street'. Each child gets a turn to practice "Stop, Look, Listen, and Walk" while the rest of the class talks them through it. When they get to the other side they sit down. On the way back, each child crosses without the class talking them through it.

**Extension:**
Have each child take home a Stop Look Listen Walk page and explain to their family what it means to be safe.
