Walk! Bike! Fun! for Families
The Walk! Bike! Fun! (WBF) program includes a curriculum used by educators to teach children of all abilities ages five to thirteen learn traffic rules and regulations, the potential hazards to traveling on foot and on bike, and physical skills needed to bike and walk safely and confidently through their community.
Adult volunteers from the community can be Ambassadors in the WBF Program by offering children opportunities to walk and bike to school through involvement in a Walking School Bus or Bike Train, invite everyone in the family to a Walk and Bike Rodeo, or present to a group of children with engaging activities about how to check a bike for maintenance issues and the best fit for a bike helmet.
My kids are so excited to practice walking and biking during school, and are enthusiastic to involve our whole family once they come home.
– Erin L, parent of 5th and 3rd graders
