Original language description

Issue of Children's traffic accidents is currently a key topic addressed by the governments of many countries. Over the last years in the some countries, mainly European ones and USA (the article focuses on the USA and Czech Republic), there is a decreasing trend of the number of fatal road accidents with children involved. Obviously, the number of children's accident fatalities could increase again without suitable education. Traffic education is returned to the curriculum in the Czech Republic and is conceived as a new way of teaching the Life Action Role Playing (LARP). This method is being used with a good experience mainly in the Scandinavian countries. LARP is a type of a role play and the main principle, the active participation in the game and the experience with different situations encourage easier and long-term acquisition of the curriculum contained in the game. The method also supports personal development, improves communication and rhetorical skills. In a safe environment games leads players to take responsibility for their decisions. The paper introduces results of the research project elaborating use LARP method in traffic education. Nine (9) scenarios of LARP have been created for each particular year of primary school. The scenarios are targeted at specific goals, which are defined in the methodological materials for traffic education issued by the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Transport. Various competencies have been included in to the scenarios, e.g. walking along the pavement and road, finding safe places for game, safe crossing of the road, identification of road traffic signs, travelling by public transport, etc. Scenarios have been evaluated on the base of pilot testing at a selected primary school by involved pupils and teachers.
