Instructions

Before the cycling tour

• Discuss the route.
• Give safety instructions, especially with bigger groups, e.g.:
• Follow the instructor.
• Cycle one after the other.
• Stay with the group.
• When I raise my arm, we all stop.
• When I extend my arm to the left, turn left; to the right, turn right.
• Decide on the date, the starting point and time.
• Discuss who brings what for the picnic.

On the day of the cycling tour

• Repeat the safety instructions.
• On the tour, stop once in a while to take pictures.

Tips for the instructor

Together, look at the pictures taken on the tour. Use them to consolidate new words and to share memories.
