Every year, on the first Wednesday of October, schools around the world celebrate International Walk to School Day. For the past 16 years, Safe Kids has teamed up with FedEx to host events in celebration of this day to teach children how to walk to school safely. We hope your kids get to attend one of these great events. But, if they don’t, it’s still an important time to talk to them about how to walk safely. In the United States alone, 44 children are hit by a car every day. We’ve created some helpful, and fun, items below to help you teach your kids how to walk safely.

When I was younger, I remember going through fire drills at my school, all the way from elementary school through college. We’d go over the plan with our teachers, line up at the door and quickly and orderly head to a pre-determined location. Even today, our office will periodically run fire drills to make sure the smoke alarms are in working order and so that everyone in the building knows what to do in case of an emergency.
