Ich halte demnächst eine Englischstunde im Kindergarten und soll mit den Kindern über das Thema Straßenverkehr reden.
Mein Problem ist das Wort Ampel.
Ich kannte dafür bisher nur das Wort "traffic light".
Mein Kindergarten-Lehrbuch spricht aber von "pedestrian light"
Meine beiden Englisch - Englisch Wörterbücher kennen das Wort "pedestrian light" nicht.
"Pedestrian light" würde ich mit "Fußgängerampel" übersetzen. Aber vier-/fünfjährigen Kindern würde ich im Deutschen niemals die "Fußgängerampel " erklären, sondern ganz allgemein die "Ampel"
Wie spricht man in England/Amerika mit Kindern im Kindergartenalter über die Ampel? Sagt man einfach "traffic light" oder sagt man tatsächlich "pedestrian light"?

In my area, Southern England we talk about "the lights":
Stop at the lights.
Wait at the lights.
Turn left at the lights.
A pedestrian light could be called Ampelmann. In England we talk to children about the "green man."

"Never cross the road while the green man is flashing."
"If you see the red man, wait at the kerb."
If you are working with young children in English, google for
"green cross code"
This is the campaign for children to prevent road accidents. You can see examples on youtube, search "green cross code"
We also have other crossings:
Zebra crossing
black and white stripes across the road and orange beacons on each side. Drivers must give way to pedestrians, who should check that all traffic has stopped before crossing.
Pelican crossing
the pedestrian pushes a button, traffic lights stop the traffic and a green man signal shows the pedestrian it is safe to cross. A red man signal shows when not to cross.
Good luck!
