Taking the Lead is a high-energy, interactive workshop for Years 5 and 6 that brings active travel to life through performance, music and audience participation. Led by two contrasting facilitator characters, pupils explore the benefits of walking and wheeling, road safety, and the positive impact their travel choices can have on the environment.

Packed with humour, lively debate and plenty of opportunities to join in, the workshop encourages children to think critically rather than simply be told what to do. As pupils prepare for the exciting transition to secondary school, they are challenged to spot mistakes, question risky choices and help steer the action in the right direction. Through a series of entertaining scenarios, the well-meaning but distracted facilitator is kept in check by their safety-savvy counterpart, with pupils playing a key role in deciding what happens next.

The result is a memorable, fun-filled experience that empowers young people to travel confidently, safely and responsibly.

Aimed at year/class groups up to about 60, the workshop is 50 minutes long. This is part of Wizard's safety and development programmes for primary school children.
