The ‘Sustrans Bicycle Board Game’ is simple and fun activity that pupils can use as a ‘brain break’ at home in between tasks.
Land on a green and you’ll have made a good cycling choice like ‘you planned a great route using a map’ and you’ll jump forward spaces, but land on a red and you might have made a poor choice such as forgetting to wear your helmet and of course you’ll have to go backwards!

‘Pedal-Powered Poems’ encourages pupils to practice their creative writing by penning their own acrostic poem about their favourite active way to travel! We encourage you to go for a family walk, scoot or cycle first to get a little bit of inspiration for their poem!
Share: We’d love to hear your brilliant poems. Share pupil poems (or even recitals!) with Sustrans as per details on leaflet, or email them to rhowe432@c2kni.net and I will send them on. Some might even be included in the next regional newsletter! The worksheet (attached) contains an example that I wrote myself to help give pupils some ideas to get started.
