The Walking Classroom
Ages 14 - 18
The national award-winning Walking Classroom program provides students and teachers with an innovative way to get exercise without sacrificing instructional time.
The evidence-based nonprofit program’s “Walk, Listen, and Learn” methodology capitalizes on the favorable link between exercise and cognitive function.
Students take brisk 20-minute walks as a class while listening to the same custom-written, kid-friendly podcast that comes preloaded on their WalkKit (audio player) or via the mobile app.
Each podcast begins with a brief health literacy message and includes a character value woven throughout the narrative. The lesson plans and quizzes in the available Teacher’s Guide help educators effectively discuss and review the podcast material.
Aligned to state standards, the podcast topics are appropriate for students in grades 4-8. Podcasts topics include English language arts, social studies, science, and more.
