Vehicle Safety Head Graphic Just For Kids: School Bus Safety

Stand in a group while waiting for the bus. No pushing or shoving.
Stay out of the DANGER ZONE until the bus driver lets you know it's safe to get on.
If you can touch the bus, you're too close.
Once the bus arrives, line up with the smaller children at the front. Get on the bus one at a time.
Use the handrail when getting on or off the bus.
Take your seat right away and stay seated until you leave the bus.
Face forward and don't throw things inside the bus or out the bus window.
Talk quietly and keep your head and arms inside the bus.
Wait until the bus stops before standing. Move away from the DANGER ZONE after leaving the bus.
Always listen to school bus drivers - they're in charge.
If you forget any of these rules, they can tell you what it takes to be a safe bus rider.

Now that you've had a chance to go over the checklist, why not test your skills on these interactive games:
