Tips for parents

• Name the places in French as you pass them on a walk: bakery, pharmacy, library.
• Let your child do the talking at a pretend market stall at home, using the polite words from the song.
• Say the road-safety words at every crossing: stop, look left, look right.

Questions parents ask

Is the road-safety song a replacement for teaching road safety?

No, it's a helper. It gives your child a short rhythm to repeat at every crossing — stop, look left, look right, wait for green — but holding hands and practising on real walks still matter most.
