Hey Kids, I'm Zebra Crossing Welcome to the Walk or Wheel Wednesday Challenge.

Walking or wheeling with your family and friends helps to:

• keep you fit and healthy
• show you around your neighbourhood
• lessen the amount of traffic on the road - great for our environment!

Talk to a grown-up about the safest place you can cross the road on your way to school - and have fun out there.
