Every 20 minutes, a child is hurt or killed on foot in the UK, most on the way to or from school. 40% of pupils are now driven to school meaning more obesity and traffic danger. By taking part in the Giant Walking Bus, you educate children and parents about the dangers of speeding and the benefits of walking, and support a vital charity caring for families bereaved by crashes.
At 10am on Wednesday 16 June 2010, you, with hundreds of other schools at exactly the same moment, will help us break a world record by being among more than 100,000 children all walking in a crocodile of twos (holding hands), with adults accompanying them, on a 500m safe route. You do this on safe pavements around your school, or if there’s no safe route, around your playground! Every child gets a FREE sticker and certificate and the chance to make a fantastic placard to carry on their march! You can also use the event as an opportunity to run road safety lessons, meeting safety teaching goals - we give you the ideas! Most schools also get pupils to raise sponsorship for Brake’s services supporting families bereaved by road crashes. We give you colourful sponsorship envelopes. See fabulous free resources you get if you take part!
