Specifically, the analysis of the impact of animated songs „Stop! Look! Listen! Think!“ and „Keep safe, stay alive!“ to develop awareness of safe behaviour in the indirect traffic education. The animated song „Stop! Look! Listen! Think!“ shows method of crossing the road to the site in place with no traffic signs. Animated song „Keep safe, stay alive!“ deals with five basic rules for safety of pedestrians and passengers transport. According to age of the target group of traffic education for children and youth, the contribution focuses on the use of animism, anthropomorphism and eventually arteficialism in thinking of children. It is used in their teaching, when they obtained knowledge.

In this paper, we also discussed the possibilities of using both the songs within e-learning teaching methods. |
