Pedometer Pack for Schools

"Schools love the packs and in particular the booklets with the lesson plans; the cross curricular links are absolutely great. I have not come across one school that hasn't loved it and taken it up straight away"
Kirsty Gilliland, School Travel Advisor, Cambridgeshire County Council
"Pupils and adults (individually and in groups) wanted to set or improve goals when realising their steps in terms of miles/kilometres - very motivating. I have lots of ideas for using Step Counters throughout the school and I did not know the amazing range of uses and skills I can teach using the counters".
Queen's Crescent Primary School

|
|
It is simple to use, with no complex settings - just clip it on and start walking |

A Security Strap (optional extra) can provide additional security against accidental loss (e.g. children dropping it down the toilet!) |
The Step Counter comes with a one year warranty against manufacturing faults (excluding wear & tear).
