activity
Volunteer to help educate children on passenger safety. Participants will volunteer to participate in Ollie Otter presentations, interacting with elementary school children to promote child passenger safety. Opportunities for Service Learning hours/credit may be available depending on your high school’s required curriculum. The Ollie Otter Booster Seat and Seat Belt program is grant-funded through the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO). The THSO has been integral in the inception and continued success of the Ollie Otter program.
Identify a faculty or staff member or an appropriate club leader (ex. President of your school’s “safe teen driving” club) to coordinate a seat belt checkpoint. Click it & Ticket is a play on words of the usual slogan of Click it OR Ticket in that CIAT rewards students at seatbelt checkpoints who arrive at school wearing their seatbelts with a Citation of Good Behavior.” Students were found not to be wearing their seatbelts with a Warning: Poor Choice citation. For more information, contact admin@reducetncrashes.org
Select the dates to host your event. Students who arrive on campus wearing their seat belts give candy such as smarties those not, give information on how seat belts save lives. Execute your “Click It & Ticket” event and present student incentive awards. Keep track of results.
Have a photo or screenshots ready with students completing the activity and click Submit Points. Submit your final results from your seat checks. This activity can be submitted 1 time per school.
