Walking is when you move from one place to another by taking steps with your feet.
Imagine you're playing a game where you hop from one stone to another in a stream. Each time you jump on a new stone, that’s like taking a step. When you do this again and again, it feels smooth, just like when you walk!

Why We Walk
We walk to get from one place to another, just like how you use your hands to grab your favorite toy. You might walk to the park, to school, or even just to get a glass of water. It's a simple way to move that doesn’t need any extra tools, just your body and some steps!
