The Walking Classroom is a national award-winning education program that provides students and teachers with an innovative way to get exercise without sacrificing instructional time. The nonprofit program’s “Walk, Listen, and Learn†methodology capitalizes on the favorable link between exercise and cognitive function.
The Walking Classroom program is simple: Students take brisk 20-minute walks as a class while listening to the same custom-written, kid-friendly educational podcast that comes preloaded on their WalkKit (audio player) or via our new mobile app. Aligned to state standards, the podcast topics are appropriate for students in grades 3–8. Podcasts topics include English language arts, social studies, science, and more.
Each podcast also begins with a brief health literacy message and includes a character value woven throughout the narrative to support social and emotional learning. The lesson plans and quizzes in the available Teacher’s Guide help educators effectively discuss and review the podcast material.
