Bikes
BikeReady is about having the skills and experience to bike for life. It is New Zealand’s national cycle education system and includes curriculum-based learning.
The resource provides a process for schools to implement sustainable active travel practices in their school through student inquiry - and an opportunity for students to take action in response to climate change.
These Bike games and activities for schools developed by NZTA are a fun way for students to practise and develop key bike control skills such as balance, braking, riding with one hand and more.
Each card explains the equipment, setup and instructions for the activity as well as discussion ideas and variations to ensure inclusiveness for all students.
All activities are flexible and can be adapted to suit your class’s age, abilities, and needs. Most games are suitable for balance bikes or trikes. Most importantly, have fun, and feel free to join in with your class!
