Happy Faces Pre-School’s Bright Activities

Try Happy Faces Preschool’s bright activities: Be Bright collage, traffic light biscuits, role play, stop/go runaround and high vis bookbags.

For Road Safety week last November the children prepared a colourful collage of a child wearing a multi-colour fluorescent coat with reflective trims. They used pieces of fluorescent material to show up in daytime and offcuts of reflective tape to make the collage bright at night.

If you want to do this with your preschool, you could also use fluorescent paper (sometimes called 'neon') or fluorescent paint. For the reflective bits use metallic crayons or silver foil. This won't be as effective as proper reflective material but it will still get the idea across. Alternatively our Be Bright Resource packs have pieces of fluorescent fabric and reflective tape for craft use. Special Tip: Draw the facial features on first before the children start. If you don't, the children will work on the face rather than the clothes; so you might get a 'clown with no clothes' instead.

Other activites the children did were: traffic light biscuits, role play for crossing the road on a mock zebra crossing, and a 'stop/go' runaround session.

They also posed for the press to model their fluorescent waistcoats and their colourful high vis BrightKidz bookbags which are sold to parents by the pre-school.
