  • Have at least a 50 by 50 ft space available for the Body Walk exhibit the night before the scheduled Body Walk date. The floor should be swept and clean.
  • Have one (6 ft to 8-ft long) table available for use.
  • Recruit a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 volunteers for both set-up and take down of the exhibit. At least 2/3 of the volunteers must be adults. Refer to Setting Up the Exhibit in the Body Walk School Manual for more details.
  • Recruit 12-24 presenters to engage the children in the activities provided at each Body Walk Station. Parents, community members, college students, and even mature high school juniors and seniors, if they work well with younger students, are great for this important role.
  • Be available the day Body Walk visits your school.
  • Prepare teachers for Body Walk by copying and distributing:
    • Teacher memos describing and explaining Body Walk
    • Body Walk classroom activities
    • Teacher Resources
  • Complete the Participation Report and give to the Body Walk Manager at the conclusion of the day.
  • Complete follow-up within a week after Body Walk is over.
