The Safe Cross Code Dance Competition 2019 for primary school students was launched on Friday, April 12 by the Road Safety Authority (RSA), encouraging children to demonstrate to all pedestrians how to cross the road safely.

Along with their teachers, students nationwide from junior infants to sixth class recreate the dance, performing the song in either Irish or English, for a chance to win great prizes for their school – the winning school in each category will receive 30 x 7 inch tablets, while the teacher of the winning classes will each receive a €200 voucher.

To enter the competition schools must record their students doing the Safe Cross Code dance – this can be done on a phone or tablet.

The video must then be emailed directly to safecrosscode@rsa.ie along with a short description of the dance routine and some details on how the school actively promotes road safety.

Schools not only get to have fun while participating, but also to learn valuable life lessons.

The closing date for entries is May 10 – full details are on www.rsa.ie
