With The Walking Classroom, Kids Get Fresh Air and Exercise Without Sacrificing Instructional Time!
Studies show that active kids perform better academically. Physical activity not only helps kids stay healthy and strong, it can also contribute to higher test scores, improved attendance, better behavior in class, enhanced leadership skills, and a lifetime of healthy habits.
So how does The Walking Classroom help accomplish this?
Students each get a “WalkKit” audio device preloaded with 167 custom-written, entertaining, and educational podcasts on science, language arts, and history.
Students go for a brisk 20-minute walk while listening to the podcasts.›› Listen to a sample podcast on The Boston Massacre
Afterwards, lesson plans and quizzes help educators lead discussions to synthesize and solidify learning.›› Click to watch this 90-second video overview of our Teacher’s Guide
