Want an assembly to use during the National Walking Month of May? This assembly is all about the benefits of walking and how 10 minutes of brisk walking can be incorporated into our day. It covers some of the barriers we may experience in walking to school and how these could be overcome. There’s plenty of opportunity for discussion about the benefits and barriers.
During the assembly, pupils are introduced to case study pupils and encouraged to think of what they would say to these pupils so that they can see the value of walking.
There are then three worksheets which can be used to consolidate the main points from the assembly and to encourage pupils to reflect on what they have learnt.
Can be used to encourage walking to school or as part of a wider introduction to the benefits of walking.
