Allan’s Road Safety Magic Show is touring ten schools across Durham to teach them how to stay safe near roads.
Organised by Durham County Council, the show aims to engage with children in Reception and Key Stage 1 in an entertaining and interactive way through the art of magic.
Pupils will be shown how to stop, look and listen, find safer places to cross and how to use different types of light controlled crossings, as well as learning how to stay safe and seen and the importance of holding hands.
The council has described it as ‘a fun and memorable way to learn’.
Cllr Elizabeth Scott, cabinet member for economy and partnerships, said: “Bringing magic into schools is the perfect way to teach our young children how to stay safe in a fun and memorable way.
“We hope these important lessons will stick in their minds and be shared with their families when they get home, reminding their parents and siblings about road safety ahead of the clocks going back.”
