Don’t be a couch potato!

This week’s corny joke!

What do you call a lazy kangaroo?


A pouch potato!

(LOL – Don’t be a pouch potato OR a couch potato. Go on a walk with your kids!)

Hello Friends!

The air is getting crisper, and sweating is no longer a valid excuse for you or your kids to sit on your couch or in front of a screen all evening!

great night for a walk

If you’ve been using our educational podcasts to walk, listen, and learn with your kids this summer, you know that The Walking Classroom is an easy socially distant way for kids to learn at home or at school. [If you haven’t, keep reading!]

At school, kids not only get a mask break with The Walking Classroom, they also get a much-needed physically active way to learn. If they’re learning virtually from home, then it offers a great screen-free alternative!

And, most importantly, keep on walking, listening, and learning with your kids this fall.
