Infusing "play on the way" opportunities for walking school bus routes

Playful Walking School Buses

Safe Routes to School San Leandro, CA

The Playful Walking School Buses program, led by Safe Routes to School, infuses "play on the way" opportunities for several existing walking school bus routes. A Play As You Go Walking School Bus Kit was developed to bring an extra level of fun and activity to the walking school bus. The kit includes a 16-activity card game (in English and Spanish) and 6" dice, and a backpack banner for the parent school bus leader to wear while leading the group. Also included are a clipboard, buttons, and stickers. All items can be customized with the school's name, mascot, and/or sponsor logos.
