Didactic games on traffic rules in the preparatory group
Preschoolers in the preparatory group are preparing for school; they already know about the rules of behavior on the street and in transport, and understand road signs and markings. You just need to consolidate this knowledge. It is also important to pay attention to the speech and mental development of preschoolers.
Find the sign
Children are shown lotto pictures depicting different situations, but without road signs. The players’ task is to find a suitable one among the separately prepared signs and put it in the picture where it should be in reality.
I am a passenger
The teacher shows the students cards depicting different situations in public transport. Players take turns taking pictures, telling what they see: whether the characters are doing the right thing or not, if not, then they explain what they would do.
Name the signs
A couple is playing. Players take turns naming the road signs they know. The one who remembers the most wins.
Crossroads

Didactic games on traffic rules in the middle group
In the middle group, it is important to reinforce the rules of safe movement on the street. Children need to be introduced to the main road signs and their meanings, and to be taught proper behavior on the road.
Right or wrong
The teacher places figures of characters and vehicles on the playing field depicting the street. The children's task is to tell whether each character acts correctly or incorrectly, and why. If incorrect, players must correct the actions.

Traffic Laws
The didactic game “Road Rules” reinforces preschoolers’ knowledge of how motorists and pedestrians should behave towards each other, what signs and symbols to take into account. You need to prepare cardboard sheets. Glue pictures depicting different situations on the road to one side of each cardboard, and a verbal description to the other.
Children look at the pictures and try to explain the situation depicted: whether road users act correctly, taking into account road signs, symbols and traffic lights. Next, the presenter reads out what is written on the sheets so that the players understand whether they answered correctly.
Answer correctly
To play the game you need to make chips. The teacher divides the players into 2 teams. Each group takes turns asking questions and is awarded a chip for the correct answer. The team that collects the most chips wins. Here are the questions for the game:
- Where do pedestrians go? - on the sidewalk;
- How to behave correctly on public transport? - quiet, calm;

Zebra
To teach your child to cross the road correctly, you need to talk about the rules in a playful way. For this purpose, the little one learns poems about road markings. The hero of such works is often Zebra. To make it easier to memorize, you can make a zebra out of paper or sew it out of fabric.
A cute animal will help kids remember a simple rule faster. The cheerful zebra will take part in daily games. It can be placed on a mock-up of an intersection, which you create yourself from cardboard and other available materials.
Lapbook
The product will require a folder, which you can make yourself. Crafting traffic rules for school will be an excellent tool for children.
A laptop is made from sheets of A4 or A3 format. It may have a different number of sheets. They are covered with thematic pictures. Envelopes of various shapes are attached to the base, containing cards with interesting tasks, puzzles, and riddles.
A section with traffic signs should be provided. Lapbooks often contain interactive elements that attract children's attention and help them remember information faster.
Moving accordions, circles with arrows, windows with opening shutters will interest children. You can borrow ideas from more experienced craftsmen by looking at their work. They offer many interesting options for creativity.
Didactic games on traffic rules in the senior group
Preschoolers in the older group already know the rules of behavior on the street; they just need to generalize the knowledge. During games, children develop memory, speech skills, observation, and their spatial orientation improves. It is important to develop discipline in older preschoolers and the desire to follow traffic rules in everyday life.
Rod of Knowledge
The game generalizes preschoolers' knowledge about the correct behavior of pedestrians. The teacher divides the students into 2 teams. To practice, you need to take a toy traffic controller’s baton, or make one yourself.
The leader alternately gives the baton to the players of different teams. The player who received the item must remember the rule of safe behavior for pedestrians. You can't repeat yourself. The team that gives the most correct answers wins.
Example answers:
- the pedestrian must walk on the sidewalk;
- when crossing the street you need to look to the left, then to the right;
- in the absence of a sidewalk, it is permissible to walk along the side of the road towards moving cars;
- Crossing the street is permitted when the traffic light is green;
- You cannot play on the road or in its immediate vicinity;
- You must not cross the road when vehicles are approaching.
Safe streets
The purpose of the didactic game on traffic rules is to form an idea of correct walking and wheeled movement along city streets, consolidating knowledge about regulatory signs.
The board game is intended for 2-3 players. For it you need to prepare a playing field with a schematic representation of city streets, figures of people, road signs, cars, traffic lights. You can buy a ready-made board game, or you can find it on the Internet and print it out.
The teacher distributes signs and symbols across the field. Players disassemble figures of people and cars. Characters and vehicles can be completely different. You can come up with any scenarios. For example, a schoolchild returns home after school, or a truck carries groceries to the store.
Players take turns rolling dice to move characters along the street. If this is a pedestrian, then he is moved by as many cells as there are dots on the die. If a cyclist, the number of “steps” is multiplied by 2. If a motorist, multiplied by 3. A player moving in a vehicle can accept passengers and leave the car in the parking lot. In the latter case, he becomes a pedestrian. When a cube hits an underground passage, the player can immediately, in one move, move to the opposite side of the street. And if you get into an area marked as dangerous, you have to skip a move.
Guess the sign
The game improves visual and auditory perception, teaches preschoolers to remember the visual form of a road sign when mentioned verbally. To play, you need to prepare a lotto with images of different signs, as well as blank sheets of paper the size of the pictures.
The game involves 3-6 children. The teacher lays out the lotto in front of each person and distributes paper. Then he reads out a riddle or part of a poem regarding a specific road sign. The players’ task is to understand what sign is being talked about, find it on the lotto, and cover it with a sheet of paper. The winner is the one who covers all the pictures correctly and faster than his opponents.
Driver
The game consolidates knowledge of traffic rules, improves thinking ability and the ability to navigate in space. It is necessary to prepare several options for playing fields depicting streets with infrastructure and regulatory signs. It is important that the fields allow you to play out different situations on the road. A small toy car is also needed.
The teacher gives the student a task consisting of a series of actions. For example, “go to the clinic, then fill up with gas at the bus station, buy groceries at the store on the way home.” The task in the game is to do everything that is said without breaking the traffic rules. The path begins with an image of a garage or parking lot and should end there.
My street
Do-it-yourself didactic games on traffic rules are very interesting; a teacher can make a model of a street with children. For older kindergarteners, this is an extremely exciting activity. It’s good if the model represents a real street on which the kindergarten is located. All traffic lights, zebra crossings, traffic signs, and vegetation are required. We also need figures of vehicles and pedestrians.
At the first stage of the game, children examine the model made, answer the teacher’s questions, pointing with their finger what they mean or putting the characters in a certain place. What are these questions:
- what buildings are located on the street;
- traffic here is one-way or two-way, how many lanes are there on the road;
- is there an intersection on the street, how to cross it correctly;
- where are the pedestrian crossings, how are they marked;
- where pedestrians walk, where cars drive, is it possible to go out onto the roadway;
- how traffic is regulated, where traffic lights are located;
- is there public transport on the street, what is it for, where are the stops;
- what do the road signs on the street mean?
At the second stage of the game, the teacher asks the students to take turns “driving” and “walking” along the street, observing the rules of safe movement. Children who make no mistakes in completing the task receive a prize.
Soft road signs
Original products are sewn from felt of different colors. Bright and soft to the touch road signs will definitely please your baby. For them, the material of the required colors is selected, the products are filled with padding polyester. Such a craft of traffic rules for kindergarten will not go unnoticed at the competition. You can make several of these toys to use in class.
Another option would be to create soft cubes. Road signs are sewn onto their edges. The child will soon begin to recognize such signs on the way to kindergarten or school. He will look at them with interest and remember them, which will definitely be useful to him in the future.
Didactic games on traffic rules in the younger group
Kids should understand the names and purposes of vehicles, traffic lights, and main road signs.
Find the extra word
The teacher names 4 words, and the children must say which one is superfluous in meaning. Examples:
- tram, barn, tractor, ambulance;
- swing, excavator, trolleybus, truck;
- boat, boat, bus, yacht;
- scooter, roller skates, bicycle, car.
Traffic light repair
To play, you need a contour image of a traffic light and 3 circles corresponding in size to its “eyes”: red, yellow, green. The teacher explains to the students that the broken device needs to be repaired. Children place circles on the traffic lights in the correct sequence and tell what each color signals.
Collect the sign
To play the game, you need to print and cut into several parts images of road signs familiar to preschoolers of the younger group. It is also necessary to make copies of the pictures that players will use as a guide when folding the cut images. If a child quickly puts together pictures, you can ask him to complete the task without a sample.
Stop or go
For the game, the teacher prepares 2 signal cards - red and green. Hands out steering wheels made of cardboard to children. The teacher explains that when he shows the green card, the players should move as if driving a car. When the green card turns red, you need to brake.
We run across the road
The presenter has 3 cards corresponding to traffic lights. When the green one is raised, children run around the playroom, when the yellow one is shown, they jump or dance in place, and when the red one is shown, they stand still. Those who make mistakes are eliminated. The last player remaining wins.
Garage
Hula hoops are placed in the corner of the playground - these will be cars parked in the garage. There should be 4-8 fewer of them than players. The teacher turns on the music, the children dance. When the music stops, the players rush to the “garage” and hula hoop one at a time. Those who do not have time are eliminated.
