FREE WALKING ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES AND IN-CLASS RESOURCES

Family ACTIVITY BOOKLET AND DIARY

Our Walking Activity Booklet features 14 sets of activities for families with primary school-aged children.

Our Walking Activity Diary features 5 activities to complete on any week while on your walks to school or from home. 

Each resource sheet includes activity variants for the little ones and for older children to support their learning of key themes while staying active.


 

FREE IN-CLASS LESSON PLAN

With this curriculum-linked 60-minute lesson plan we look at ‘FOOTPRINTS – humans and animals walking’. This resource is very special to us as it was created in house by our expert schools team. The lesson plan can easily be adapted for families to use at home.

DOES YOUR FAMILY LIVE TOO FAR FROM SCHOOL TO WALK?

Try Park and Stride! Park and Stride is a simple idea for families who live far away to still enjoy the benefits of walking to school.

School Streets

School street closure schemes – where cars are prevented from going up to the school gates at drop off and pick up times – have been successfully trialled in towns and cities in the UK. We can help with the entire cycle of a School Streets project.
