Indiana Buckle Up Bug Program
The Indiana Buckle Up Bug Club is designed for students
grades K-3, but
appeals to children of all ages. The Club is available
statewide and is aimed at increasing seat belt use
among children. Enrollment in the club requires members
to wear their own seat belt on every trip and bestows
the right to "bug" everyone in their family
vehicle to buckle up. It is a great way to encourage
the development of the lifesaving habit of always
buckling up.
The Indiana Buckle Up Bug Club
- Makes a perfect addition to any health and safety
fair
- Can enhance reading programs at libraries
- Can be used for classroom presentations
Members receive a kit, which consists of:
- Activity Book
- Sticker
- Bookmark
- Pledge Card
All necessary membership materials can be obtained
from the Automotive Safety Program at 1-800-KID-N-CAR.
Please click here to
see all of the materials available for the Club.
For an extra special event, why not schedule the
Bug to make a personal appearance at your event or
presentation? You can obtain the Buckle Up Bug Suit
from the Automotive Safety Program. The bug suit can
be picked up from the Automotive Safety Program Office
on the Indiana University Medical Center Campus. Directions
can be obtained here.
The Suit fits persons of average build up to approximately
5'7" tall. A $10 fee is required for costume
rental.
Belt-Abouts
"Belt-Abouts" is a curriculum that is designed
to help children, grades 4 through 6, understand the
importance of buckling up each time they ride in a
motor vehicle.
The curriculum contains five different lessons for
students and corresponding versions for teachers.
The lessons can be used as a unit, or they can be
used individually as single lessons.
