Active Kids are Healthy Kids
Why it’s good to walk to School?
It’s a healthier alternative than driving
It’s good for the environment
It’s fun – you can meet friends and see things you would miss in a car
Kids need a minimum of 30 minutes exercise everyday – do you do that?
Did you know that one step uses 200 muscles – wow! That’s a lot! You only use 17 to smile
See it’s easy to get that amount of exercise if you walk to and from school – smiling!
How does walking to school help the environment?
Cars are responsible for nearly one fifth of household greenhouse gas
emissionsWalking just half a km every day to school saves about 500kg of
greenhouse pollution every year
Half of all car journeys are only 3 km – how close to school do you live?
Remember – always hold an adult’s hand when crossing roads
Stop – Look – Listen and
Think before you cross
the road.
And…..let’s say all together
Active kids are healthy kids!
WALK don’t RUN
