How The Walking Classroom Works

educational podcasts for kids

Kids Get Fresh Air and Exercise While Learning!

Studies show that active kids do better academically. Physical activity not only helps kids stay healthy and strong, but it can also contribute to higher test scores, improved attendance, better behavior in class, enhanced leadership skills, and a lifetime of healthy habits. The Walking Classroom provides an easy way for kids to get that activity without losing instructional time.

Great in all learning environments—classrooms, afterschool programs, summer programs, and more

The Walking Classroom is effective in all kinds of learning environments. It helps improve learning and retention, increase physical activity, enhance social emotional learning, and so much more in classrooms, afterschool programs, summer programs, homeschool, and more.

Builds core content knowledge

The program topics align with the curriculum to help support core learning and build understanding — particularly for students with different learning styles. After months of virtual learning, this program can make a huge impact.
