At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Walk Safely To School Day is celebrated in Australia to raise awareness about air pollution and the benefit of walking to school.
Walk Safely To School Day is celebrated by primary school kids. Teachers and parents get involved in teaching children road safety, how to cross, and traffic rules.
Walk Safely To School Day was first started nationally in 2004 on April 2.
Pedestrian Council Of Australia started the Walk Safely To School Day to encourage students to walk safely to the school.
Walk Safely To School Day was started in the '90s in Australia to promote healthy habits in kids. Here are key events that could have influenced Walk Safely To School Day
Parents teach their kids about traffic rules and walk home with them on this day. The event was started to inspire kids to be active on a daily basis. Walking to schools also helps increase alertness in kids and keeps them fresh.
National Walk Safely To School Day provides a good opportunity to increase the trust and bond between the child and a parent. Here are a couple of ways to get involved in the celebration of this event
Hold the hands of your child while they cross the road. It gives them a sense of security. Practice crossing the roads in traffic with them. Watch your child following the traffic rules and how they cross the roads. It will help them gain confidence walking to school on their own.
Teach students environmental and physical benefits about walking instead of using transport like trains, buses which contribute to air pollution. Share the word about this event on social media with the hashtag National Walk Safely To School Day and encourage others to do the same as well.
Parents get involved in the celebrations by teaching their kids about safety measures and various safe ways to crossroads independently.
The event raises awareness about traffic rules, air pollution, and it is an educational event for kids.
A similar day is celebrated in Britain called 'Walk To School Campaign,' which is the British version of Walk Safely To School Day
Families walk their children to school and exercise together to stay fit.
