Walk and Wheel Week 7-11 March

By Bridget McDowall | Posted: Tuesday February 22, 2022

Walk 'n’ Wheel to School Week is coming up from Monday the 7th until Friday the 11th of March 2022. Walking or wheeling to school can contribute to daily activity, help reduce the traffic congestion at the school gate and help reduce your carbon footprint. Help us support this fantastic event by supporting your child/children to walk or wheel even if it’s only once during the week. The more they walk or wheel during the week, the more chances they have of winning a spot prize including Sports Depot and Megazone vouchers. Live too far away? Then parking a block or two away is a perfect option for your family.

Parents can get involved too!

Snap and win- we love seeing parents/caregivers getting involved and supporting walking or wheeling. You can share your photos of yourselves walking or wheeling with your child/children throughout the week. They can be posted to the event page on the Sport Otago Facebook page with the hashtag #walknwheelday2022 and go into the draw to win a drink bottle or a keep cup.

Walk ‘n’ Wheel Daily Theme

Join the fun and celebrate Walk ‘n’ Wheel Week by walking or wheeling with our different daily themes. There will be daily spot prizes from our Physical Activity Leaders.

Move it Monday

Move your way and walk or wheel to school.

Choose it Tuesday

Choose a different way to move to school. Walk, wheel, hop, skip or jump.

Wacky Wednesday - Walk 'n' Wheel Day

Display something bright! Bright shoes, bright clothes, bright socks. Be seen by cars as you walk or wheel to school.

Thoughtful Thursday

Think about your carbon footprint as you walk and wheel your way to school. How many eco-cars can you spot on your way to school?

Foot It Friday

Put your best foot forward and decorate your shoes or design your dream shoe. See your classroom teacher for the design template.
