Teacher’s/Leader’s Guide for ® Bike safety rules! Page 2—What is bike safety? Write your students’ answers to this question on a flip chart/blackboard. Then, have a class discussion based on students’ responses. This activity allows students to share what they already know and think about bike safety. You may also want to ask students if they have any questions about bike safety. Then, as your class works through Know What?—Bike safety rules! , look for the answers. Help students use the school library or the Internet to learn more about biking and bike safety.

Show how to fold the page. Then, have a class discussion about why your students think some people don’t wear helmets. Many kids don’t wear helmets because they don’t want their peers to make fun of them. This point is reinforced by the story “Jake’s Mistake” on pages 8-9. In your discussion, be sure to emphasize that no reason is worth getting hurt or risking your life for. Invite a local law enforcement officer or bicycle professional (such as a bike shop owner) to talk to the class about the importance of bike safety and wearing a helmet. Ask him or her to go over any local ordinances relating to bike safety. If possible, have a helmet decorating party. Ask students to bring in their helmets and allow them to decorate them with stickers or other manufacturer-approved decorations (some helmets may come with decorating kits). Tell parents about this activity ahead of time to make sure it’s OK and that all of your students have a helmet.
