Walking School Bus
A Walking School Bus is a group of children walking to and/or from school with one or more adults. Often children are ‘picked-up’ on the way to school much like a normal bus route.
A Bike Train is the same concept, except on bikes. When children are being accompanied on bikes we suggest more adults participate to ensure children are following the rules of the road.
Walkabouts
Walkabouts give the students and school community the opportunity to assess their school campus or neighborhood. Led by adults, the group will have a chance to look at infrastructure deficits on school grounds or their routes to school and get hands-on practice with safe walking reinforcement.
