Category 3: Johanniterschule (2018)

A brief description of the project:

After our theoretical training in class and practical training at the children's traffic training centre, we wanted to summarise everything we learned in a song. That is why we had the idea in our interdisciplinary project to write a song in German class and practice the accompaniment in music class.

After the theoretical and practical test, we changed the words of our school song to fit the road safety education. To do so, we split up into groups and discussed how we could answer all road safety questions in rhyme.

After the text for our bicycle song was created, we developed the accompaniment in music class. Class 4a decided on an accompaniment using Orff instruments, Class 4b preferred the boomwhackers. The highlight was the two classes singing and playing together. The idea to use the props and costumes for the recording session came from the pupils.

A brief speech at the beginning of the video shoot was written as an introduction.

Procedure:

1. Preparation phase:

* What traffic signs are there? What do they mean?

* How do I turn right or left correctly?

* Hazards such as the blind spot or obstacles on the roadway.

2. Practical phase:

* A wide range of exercises at the children's bicycle traffic training centre.

3. Creative phase:

* Poster design,

* Writing words to the song and accompanying them with Orff instruments and boomwhackers, followed by video shoot.
