A new school means a new route, and children remember places better when they have seen them. Sit together and walk the way to school in real Street View: point out each crossing, the shops to look out for and the school gate. Then walk it for real together.

- Children learn landmarks: "turn at the red post box" sticks better than a map.
- Talk about each crossing before you reach it: where to wait, where to look.
- Less first-day worry for both of you.
How to do it
- Search for the school, or click its gate on the map.
- Press Directions, choose Walk, and start from home.
- Play the route slowly and pause at each crossing and turn to talk about it. Tap the picture to pause.
- Walk the real route together before term starts.
Safety first: Street View photos can be a few years old and do not show current traffic. Always walk the real route with your child before they go alone.
Questions
Is it suitable for young children?
Yes, as something to watch together with a parent. It complements walking the route for real; it does not replace it.
Can I choose the safest way?
StreetRoutes follows Google's walking route. If you prefer a different way, for example via a footbridge, set a start point that makes the route go that way, or check the turns on the map.
