Traffic Stories
Children invent a traffic-related story and present it visually through a simple comic strip.
The teacher asks the children whether they know what a comic strip is. The teacher explains what a comic strip is and shows different examples of comic strips.
The teacher encourages the children to invent a story that happened to them or to someone else in traffic. The teacher supports them with suggestions, encouraging them to think about breaking traffic rules and about the consequences of such behaviour.
When the children share their stories, the teacher guides them towards illustrating the content. The children focus on the main events of the story and divide them into four or six pictures.
The children present their comic strips and create an exhibition.
The topic of the comic strip can be chosen freely.
A comic artist could visit the children and present their work, for example comics published in a daily newspaper or online.
This activity combines storytelling, visual expression, and early media literacy. By turning real or imagined traffic situations into comic strips, children practise sequencing events, understanding cause and consequence, and expressing ideas through images. Creating and sharing comics supports communication skills and helps children reflect on everyday situations in a creative and accessible way.
The entire activity lasted several days, as children needed different amounts of time to invent their stories and to illustrate them. Since children are not yet able to write independently, the teacher wrote the text next to the images. The children said that the most difficult part was starting to draw and then drawing similar objects in the same way several times.
