Activity Booklet / Teacher's Guide Train Safety Activity Booklet / Teacher’s Guide saskatchewan.ca Welcomel Most injuries and deaths related to railways are unnecessary because they are preventable. That is why the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, in partnership with the Western Canadian Short Line Railway Association, produced this latest edition of the Train Safety Activity Book and companion Teacher's Guide. By having children work through the book's activities, the hope is this provincial safety initiative educates future generations about railway safety and prevents accidents. 1 Content: · Students will learn the importance of railway safety through various subject areas. Objectives: · Encourage safety around railways and trains. · Encourage awareness of dangers associated with railways and discourage unsafe activities around trains and railways property. Language Arts: · Students can create poems about train safety using the information gathered from the activity book. Students may recite their poems in small groups or in front of the class. • Students may look at the safety pictures in the activity book and write a short story about the characters in the pictures. Students must remember to keep the theme of safety in mind. Arts Education: · Students may create train safety posters addressing different safety issues. These posters can be displayed throughout the school. • In small groups, students can create a commercial/infomercial promoting train safety. These commercials/infomercials may be performed in front of our classroom peers or younger classes. Health: · Students can be given task cards containing issues regarding train safety. Students must work cooperatively and create a solution to these realistic issues. Computers: · The website below will provide students with information about trains. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/trains/kids/index-e.html Social Studies: • Learn about the history of the railways that pass through your community today. Students can learn when the railway began, who built it, which was the first train to ride on it, what types of jobs the railway created, etc. Science: · Students can learn about what the trains transport. How does it help their community? Where do the supplies come from, before it is put on the train? Field Trip: · Contact your local railway company to arrange a field trip. · Students should note the dangers and possible unsafe activities they observe during the field trip. 2 ANSWER KEY FOR PAGE 17 - TRAIN TRIVIA 1.
