Walking to school not only provides great exercise, but also builds a child's connection to the community. Friendships are formed, stories are told, and there is so much to observe and learn as we walk in groups. Children learn the safety rules through practise. In my own community of Richmond, B.C., I had heard of the Walking School Bus and Walk to School Week in October. I wanted to create a song that would support those programs.

(Chorus)
When I go to my school,
I like to walk and I’m no fool,
With my friends, I’m just fine.
Riding the Walking School Bus.

1.
One of our parents comes along,
We whistle and talk or sing a song,
Who needs a car when it’s not too far?
Riding the Walking School Bus.
