Door Decorating

The sky’s the limit with this fun and creative way to engage your peers in traffic safety!

The goal of this project is to promote a door-decorating contest that encourages students to decorate as many classroom doors as possible with messages and visuals focused on a traffic safety topic. It’s a great way to spark conversation, raise awareness, and showcase creativity while educating others on the importance of safe driving.

Flyer Like It’s 1999

Back in the day, if you wanted to spread the word about something—you made a flyer!

While social media is great, sometimes you’ve got to throw it back and go old school. The goal of this project is simple: get our traffic safety message into the hands of others. We’re aiming to fill hands with knowledge, not distractions—one flyer at a time!

Chalk the Walk / Tape the Space

This project uses real students at your school to create a powerful traffic safety awareness campaign. The goal is to highlight the consequences of unsafe driving behaviors and emphasize the important role each of us plays, whether as a driver or a passenger.

Through visual displays using chalk or tape, you will spark conversation and encourage your peers to think carefully about the choices they make on the road.

Grasping at Straws to Save Lives

This activity involves handing out straws to fellow students or community members to raise awareness about the importance of safe driving. The goal is to spark an awareness chain reaction. Each straw includes a message encouraging the recipient to pass it on to someone they care about, spreading the message of safety one person at a time.

Quit Forking Around – Put It Down

Forking a lawn can be quite an amusing activity. But what’s better than just forking a lawn, you ask? Forking a lawn to raise awareness and save lives!

This project uses forks and a highly trafficked area at your school or community center to draw attention to the dangers of distracted driving.

U R The Key To A Safe Ride – Contract Activity

State Farm #Drive2N2 Social Media Firestorm

State Farm supports a culture of teen safe driving. The #Drive2N2 campaign focuses on educating drivers about the importance of keeping two hands on the wheel and two eyes on the road. To help this campaign gain momentum, you need to promote it both at your school and across social media!

Quick Click Challenge

The “Quick Click” Challenge is a fast-paced competition where teams of four race to buckle up the fastest. Starting at a line 15 feet behind the rear bumper of a four-door car, team members run to the car, get in, buckle up, and raise their hands until a referee shouts “ROTATE!”

Then, they unbuckle, exit the car, rotate clockwise around the vehicle to the next seat, get in, and buckle up again. This rotation happens two more times until each team member has buckled in all four seats. The team with the fastest time after four buckle-ups wins!

Battle of the Belts 

Through a series of engaging events, educational resources, and interactive activities, Battle of the Belts provides Florida high school students with a free kit designed to build knowledge, skills, and motivation for making smart choices behind the wheel.

We believe that by equipping young drivers with the right information and emphasizing the life-saving benefits of safety belts, we can significantly reduce the risks associated with vehicle crashes.
