Acting Out

Raise awareness of school bus safety with a special assembly for students. Hold the event in your school’s gymnasium or auditorium at the beginning of National School Bus Safety Week. At the front of the room, set up chairs in rows, similar to the seating arrangement on a bus. Have teachers and bus drivers act out bus-related situations such as sharing a seat, keeping things out of the aisle and being respectful to fellow bus riders. Go over emergency procedures as well. Ask for student volunteers to help demonstrate the scenarios. Give each of them stickers from our Bus Safety Assortment Stickers or Good Character Assortment Stickers that coincide with the parts they perform. Pass out Evacuation Drill Stickers to all students who attend.
