Kids High Vis Vests – How Schools Can Encourage Children To Be Bright

Kids High Vis vests are a must, especially during the winter months when it gets dark in the afternoon. It is important to get your children to wear Hi Vis vests when walking to and from school on dark mornings. Moreover, they should also be encouraged to wear high visibility clothing when riding their bike.

Nevertheless, getting them to wear this clothing is the hard part. Schools should play their role in encouraging Hi Vis clothing, as it is in the interest of their children’s safety. Below, we reveal some tactics schools can use to get children to wear this clothing.

Of course, the most crucial thing that schools need to do is educate their kids on the importance of Hi Vis clothing. They need to explain how dangerous it is to walk or ride to school without making themselves visible to other drivers. Depending on the age of the children, you could explain scenarios where accidents have happened to show them that the danger is very much real.

You should also make an effort to show children that Hi Vis clothing can be fun and fashionable, as there are many different colours available and they can even have their high visibility vests personalised.

Aside from this, another suggestion is to host a ‘Be Bright’ day at school. You should encourage all children to come to school in the brightest clothing and accessories they can find. This will be a fun activity, as every child loves any opportunity to turn up to school without having to wear their uniform. This will show them that bright clothing can be cool.

If you teach Bike Ed at your school, you could always have a day where children bling out their bikes with Hi Vis accessories. They can also do the same for their helmets and you can encourage them to wear kids High Vis vests to complete the bright ensemble. The winner could get a prize.
