About the activity

We know that your schools and nurseries are creative places and your pupils, staff and communities are bursting with ideas of how to get young London moving!

This is your chance to share your school’s own competition idea, different to anything else already listed on the TfL Travel for Life website.

Did you run a road safety badge competition? Could you ask your pupils to design a social media campaign to highlight the importance of active travel online?
