National Beep Beep Day 2021
The online ordering facility is now open. It is important that childcare providers place their orders for RSA Beep Beep Day packs without delay to have them in time for National Beep Beep Day.
As a result of Covid-19 and associated restrictions with regards to ordering and manufacturing across the world, we have very few of the high visibility vests available this year. But the good news is that we do have adequate stocks of Simon and Friends booklets and posters all of which are invaluable when practising basic road safety skills with the children. We also hope to have all high visibility stocks replenished once again for next year’s campaign.
Should you have any queries or difficulties, please feel free to email education@rsa.ie .
Kind Regards,
Regina

Creative play idea
Why not combine outdoor play with indoor play today.
Gets the kids to design their own playing pieces for X’s and O’s by painting pebbles and then using them to play the game.
