Mr Kanellopoulos:	Good morning, children.
Children:	Good morning, sir.
Mr Kanellopoulos:	I'm going to talk to you about road signs. Do you know this sign? It means: "Stop your car or bus here". And this sign? It means: "You can't drive at more than fifty kilometres an hour". And what about this one? It means: " Wait. You mustn't cross the road now". And this one? It means: "Go. You can cross the road now". Do you know this one? It means: "You can't ride your bicycle here". And this one?

Let's play!

Treasure Hunt:

Play this game in two teams. One student from each team must go out of theclassroom and then his/her team must hide a 'treasure' (a pen, a notebook) in the classroom. When the student comes back in, blindfold him/her, tell him/her what the treasure is and give him/her directions how to find it. Use these phrases:


*Turn left*	*Turn right*	*Go straight ahead*

When you want your friend to stop, use this phrase: Red light

When you want your friend to walk, use this phrase: Green light

Your teacher is going to time you as you guide your friend. The team to find the treasure more quickly is the winner! But be careful! You can't speak Greek! If you do, you lose!
