Take your class on a walk, it could be:
- Around the school
- Around their town
- Along one street
- Journey from school to Blackpool Tower
- Journey from school to the Grundy Art Gallery
Get them to record signs, traffic signs, posters, adverts, instructional signs etc using cameras by sketching.
Use these images to create one large collage back in class. Use the words found in the images to create a group poem about traffic/words/walking/journeys.
Get them to look at the language used in signs, the colours and how many things there are to read on a small journey. Perhaps even have a debate about visual pollution and whether it is right to overload the streets with so many signs.
Above are some images from the internet, showing you different and interesting ways in which road signs and traffic signals have been used.
