STOP LOOK WAVE

Stop Look Wave is a simple, fun way to teach kids around the world how to stay safe on the roads. Find out more and download the training materials here.

 

All you have to do is:

STOP

If you're going to cross the street, stop.

LOOK

Look both ways, and make eye contact with any drivers near you.

WAVE

Wave at the drivers, and wait for a wave back. Then, cross.

Since Stop Look Wave was launched in 2015, it’s reached children in more than 30 countries worldwide. It increases awareness, encourages safe behaviour and can help save lives.

Stop, look, wave… and dance!

As part of Stop Look Wave we’ve made this song and music video to help spread the message. Can you get a classroom full of kids up on their feet and dancing to the song? 

You can also download the video in the list further down this page, or watch it on our YouTube channel

About the initiative

This short film has been made to explain exactly why it’s so important to stop, look and wave, as well as introducing the concept of road traffic safety in a fun, memorable and – above all else – kid-friendly way.

 

Download the videos, in both left-hand-driving and right-hand-driving versions, below, or check it out on our YouTube channel.

Downloadable teaching resources

The resources include an activity mat that can be downloaded and printed out, as well as figures: great for if you want to run a lesson on the subject, or just ask kids to practice their road safety skills on their own.

Your road safety licence

A fun driver’s licence can be printed out and awarded to every student who learns how to stop, look and wave.
