Learn about Slimy Shields with Your Kids

First things first! Here’s your weekly corny joke to share on your walk.

How do you make a tissue dance?


You put a little boogie in it!

Hello Friends!

We hope these weekly messages are inspiring you to be active with your kids this summer. Help your kids avoid the “summer slide” by taking walks together while listening to fun, educational podcasts from The Walking Classroom. Our mobile app makes it super easy and you get 26 podcasts for free!

Your kids will love the fact that you’re doing it together and won’t even realize how much they’re learning.

Each week we’re including a quick (and maybe corny) ice-breaker joke for you to kick off your walk. This week’s joke is a PERFECT segue to our “Human Body’s Slimy Shields” podcast. It’s a kid-approved favorite!

Walk, listen, and learn with your kids!

The Walking Classroom offers a super simple (and free) way to learn stuff with your kids this summer while everyone gets some fresh air and exercise!

It’s easy with the free Walking Classroom app. You and your kids get fresh air and exercise when you take a walk while listening to a fun, kid-friendly educational podcast together.

Do it regularly and your walking routine will build great memories as well as boost your child’s core content knowledge for the next school year! (And, you might learn something yourself!)

Don’t forget to use the “boogie” joke when you listen to the “Slimy Shields” podcast! (Oh, and did we mention “The Human Body’s Slimy Shields” is one of the free podcasts? It is. Enjoy!)

Download The Walking Classroom Podcasts app from either app store on your mobile device.

OR, download the free podcasts right here on our website!
