Bulgaria
In the Varna City region, there's a yearly theatrical activity to children. The activity is carried out by the Stojan Bachvarov theatre in Varna City. The aim is to teach children about traffic safety issues in an entertaining fashion. Before this event, the students have already been taught about traffic safety in their local schools and they may even have had practical exercises in traffic.

The following 4 videos show examples of the play. The carrying idea is that there are two characters: one who knows the traffic rules and safe behaviour and another who doesn't know the rules or about safe conduct. During the play, the ignorant character is introduced to correct behaviour in traffic through jokes and antics.

This movie is the presentation of the testing and piloting phase of the Curriculum for traffic Safety Educators developed within the PRO-CADRIN LLP Project for children 7-12 years old. The best way of learning is that which sees children involved firsthand in the experience of education by using games. It stimulates an active self-reflection on the margins of the game; It's possible accompany the children in the understanding of important issues, making them fun. The teacher-coach decides the actions to do (ie: laugh, cry, clap, jump ...). The coach gives the signal to start every action with a corresponding gesture that was previously agreed. The movie presents the games used and the importance to respond in time to inputs that are from time to time data. At a later stage children become their own conductors, one at a time in a theatre game.

The children of the Musical Day Centre Taikatahti were introduced to the traffic safety issues in a small production where they and their teacher wrote words for a traffic safety song and built a small play around it. In the video, you can see the final result and you can clearly see how seriously the children take their song and play. We are certain that they will better remember traffic safety after this experience!
