The MobileKids educational material helps primary school teachers to organise the MobileKids school campaign, a nationwide schools contest. However, the educational material is also designed as a stand-alone module that can be easily integrated into the curriculum of the different federal states and their road safety learning units. The material addresses key aspects of road safety that are of particular relevance and interest to primary school children, and combines them into six modules. In addition to a teacher's manual, the material includes 6 modules.

Educational material module 1: See and be seen

Along with hearing, seeing is a crucial basis for being safe on the roads. This module is intended to train children's visual perception.

Educational material module 2: Crossing the street

Many children begin to extend the range of their activities when they start school, and are increasingly out and about on their own. This module is intended to help children recognise and anticipate traffic risks.

Educational material module 3: Riding your bike

The traffic environment is not focused on the needs of cycling children. Motorists don't always anticipate the presence of children and can easily overlook them. In addition, children are often not up to the challenges of flowing traffic. The module is intended to equip children with the skills they need to ride their bikes on the road.

Educational material module 4: Being a road user

Compared to adults, children's behaviour on the road is much less controlled due to their strong urge to move. This module is intended to teach children to be mindful of other road users.

Educational material module 5: Safe on the way to school

Making their own way to school helps children to develop their independence. As an alternative to being driven by their parents, children can get to school by using the bus or walking. This module teaches aspects of road safety and social consideration.

Educational material module 6: Mobility of the future

Modules 1-5 are intended to teach children the necessary skills to be safe in traffic. This module teaches them about the history of mobility and invites them to take a look at its future.
