π² Could the school run become this week's house challenge?
For Cycle to School Week, here's a really simple one for schools to try.
Every time a pupil cycles to school, they earn a point for their house.
You could even turn it into a wider Active Travel Challenge so pupils who walk, scoot or park and stride can join in too.
Then make those journeys visible.
Add a token to the relevant house collector each time a pupil completes the challenge and watch the totals grow throughout the week.
You could make it competitive and see which house completes the most active journeys, set daily targets or get the whole school working together towards one big total.
And while everyone's busy collecting points, there's an opportunity to talk about healthy habits, traffic around school and the environmental impact of how we travel too.
π² Would your pupils be more motivated by beating the other houses or working together to reach one huge school target?
