History of Tales of the Road

Tales of the Road first launched over  ten years ago. During that time, we’ve provided teachers and road safety educators with resources ranging from short videos that give children tips on how to cross the road safely, to interactive games that children can use to build their road safety skills 

As more of our audience move to digital channels, Tales of the Road gives schools and parents an easy way to access the resource online and to engage children through interactive learning. 

In this lesson pupils will explore how to create their own Road Safety Campaigns targeted at their peers.
